1. Creation: Filmmaking is about creation; it’s about taking a script, developing a new world, and bringing into life. It’s about making something that doesn’t exists become part of reality
2. Storytelling: Filmmaking is about telling a story and making your audience interact and relate to it. Maybe they’ve had a similar experience to what is being portrayed.
3. Imagination: In order to make a movie you must have a huge imagination, because it’s all about creating a reality from a non-existent one.
4. Loosing yourself: Making a movie is about loosing yourself in your characters along with your newly created world. It gives you a second to step away from yourself and instead be part of the scene you are creating.
5. Looking through a different lens: Filmmaking allows you to look through the lens of the character being portrayed. If your directing a film it allows you to show the world how you would see a movie or scene through a specific characters eyes.
6. Life: Filmmaking is about creating your own spin on of every day life.
7. Visualization: Everything in filmmaking is about seeing and visualizing. It allows the images you see in your brain to come to life on the screen.
8. Detective: All filmmakers are detectives, looking for ways around obstacles and how to cheat angles to create illusions that will help emphasize the story that they are telling.
9. Perspective: Being a filmmaker allows you to show the world your perception on how you visualize it.
10. Love: This is the most important thing for a filmmaker to have, because unless you love what you do, how can a film truly be and feel real to an audience and to yourself?
