What you need is a camera, a computer, and a customized tripod mount. You would also need a 3D software, one that is uncomplicated and quick to use and many of them are available for download for free online. You would also need a cheap anaglyph lens or if you prefer to save more, you can create one on your own.

Keep in mind that 3D filmmaking works just like the human eyes, both left and right eye functioning to their optimum level. In shooting 3D, there should also be two separate footages, both left and right. The advantage of using anaglyph 3D in filming your home movies is that it is the only type of 3D film which can be readily accessed via the internet lately. So if one has a fairly strong internet connection and anaglyph 3D glasses, they can easily watch the 3D movies that you uploaded.

This is the simplest approach in shooting 3D’s.

• Choose two reliable cameras that you will be using for the shooting. They do not have to be the more expensive ones, just as long as they are working and that they are bought within the last two years, they would do. However, if it is possible to use to cameras of the same make and model, the setting would be more ideal. This means that you get the same actual resolution and quality for both the left and right shots.
• Make sure that each cameras or memory cards are properly tagged so that you would not encounter any difficultis in identifying card came from what camera. This would delay the entire filming and editing process.
• As soon as you have the cameras, install them in such a way that their lines of sight are just like those of our eyes. Create your own rig, something that can carry both cameras at the same time. Make sure that their future moves are as synchronized as our eyes so they need to be tightly fixed when they are mounted. This enables you to shoot using two different cameras focused on the very same direction but are at a considerable fixed distance from each other. Yes, there are constants in the measurements of distances and a whole lot more if you want to come up with a more professional 3D film output. A stereographer is the expert in performing these measurement and if yo are shooting an amateur video, at best a distance of 20 inches between each lens is good enough.

When the hook ideas are already determined and the premise of the film is already set, the next thing you would need to do is to create a beautiful and interesting story.  The very first step that you can take would be to complete the process called idea testing.  To complete this process, you only have to state the title of the story and its genre.  After this, you may also have to provide a description of the hero and the events that occur to him which leads to challenges that he would face.  From there, you may also develop some side-stories.  But always make sure that such side-stories do not in any way overshadow the main theme.  Instead, these should support the main theme or premise of the story.

Creating the Screenplay Outline

The most common mistake that new writers frequently make is that they just write on without having any outline to guide them.  A free-flowing verse that does not require any outline may be possible for short essays that focus on just a single theme.  However, a movie certainly is much longer and more complicated.  Writing without any outline has its many disadvantages.  It is actually like constructing a building without any blueprint.  The natural tendency would be for you to be lost along the way, putting emphasis on the side-stories and forgetting about the original premise instead.

It is important for the screenwriter to always think about the plot and how it should be delivered to the audience.  A novelist can have the luxury of magnifying the side-stories or narrating the background of the characters.  But this is not the same for the screenwriter.  The screenplays are supposed to be written in a manner that would make the movie interesting always for the audience.  Aside from this, there are also considerations on the manner that the scenes will be developed.  With an outline, you can have something to look at every time you feel that you have run out of ideas.

Making the Screenplay Title

If you think that making the screenplay titles are the easiest part then you are absolutely wrong.  The screenplay title can be difficult to develop.  As long as the film is still in the works, there should be no trouble in changing the title along the way.  By the time that the film goes into post-production, a better title would have been achieved already.  Of course, the title for the entire film would be much different from the screenplay title.

The Outline for the Screenplay

The screenplay outline would help a lot in developing further the story.  From the outline, you can then build the treatments.  Instead of a narrative form, the screenplay outline is actually a set of sentences that would serve as guides in the development of every sequence of event.  A treatment should be made for every screenplay outline. The treatment is definitely much longer than the outline sentence.  It is actually made up of a paragraph.  Since these are work documents, ones that do not need to be read by the actors and the crew, these may be for your eyes only.  The director, however, may be allowed to read these if necessary.

It would be good if you can learn how to write a three-act story common to stage plays.  Once you are well acquainted with this style, it would no longer be difficult for you to develop a screenplay outline for an entire film.  The first act would be that part where you can introduce the characters of the movie.  It is also here where you can provide a comprehensive description of the setting of the story.  Therefore, you may not yet describe the conflicts taking place among the characters.  However, at this point, you may also provide a description of how the characters would relate to one another.

The second act is where the conflict among the characters are developed and described.  It is also here where you can fully describe the reactions of each character to the conflicts that they are experiencing. Aside from the conflicts, the goals and objectives of the characters may also be defined in the second act.  It is in the third act that the characters will finally come into open confrontation.  This is the prelude to the end of the movie, wherein the conflicts are finally resolved, where the hero comes out as the victor and the anti-hero is meted with punishment.

If you do not want to lose your way as you try to develop the story, you may write the ending first before the middle part.  Most screenwriters admit that the middle part is often the hardest to develop.  Once you have the first and third acts made up though, completing the second act would be less difficult.

Developing the Screenplay Premise

The premise is one very important part of the screenplay and the movie itself.  This is also the part wherein you can connect with the actual human condition and provide the viewers with the lessons of points of view that could prompt them to action.  In order for the connection to be made though, it is necessary that the premise is relevant to the times.

The Characters in the Screenplay

Apart from the screenplay document, you may also write about each of the characters and put it into one document that supports the script.  To do this, you may have to write a biography of each character.  Some physical description may be necessary but what is most important is that you also make sure that you describe the conflicts that each character is confronted with.    To make your screenplay even more interesting, it may be appropriate to develop the characters of the subplots too.  Just make sure though that these would not be too detailed as to grab the audience’s attention instead from the more important characters.

Screenplay Development is Continuous

A screenplay is never actually done until the movie itself reaches the stage of post-production.  This is because better ideas may just arise while the movie is being shot.  If there are brilliant ideas that come out during the shoot, you should be flexible enough to make the needed changes in order to accommodate the new concepts.  Of course, you should not make the changes too massive as to change the essence of the screenplay itself.

If you think some subplots should be included in order to make the movie more interesting then do so.  Such changes may be done while the movie is still being shot.  Of course, once the movie is already in the post-production stage, such changes would be difficult to introduce.

Tell People about the Story

You may never know how nice or how bad your screenplay is unless you can see people’s reaction on it.  Try to tell your friends the gist of the story and check out their reactions.  You should not feel slighted by any criticism.  Instead, you should be able to adapt and make the needed adjustments.
