Use storyboards to plan out what you want your scenes to look like. It helps to keep your ideas organized so you know what shots to make.

I made one short film. I was young and broke. Do I have to pay for this my entire life!?!

I hope my husband and his family never see the video.

My best advice would be....to have a camera. Sorry, but I know nothing about making short films

You draw several different panels and then fill them in with the scenes you might want. it helps you get an idea of your movie layout.
