Short Movies Reviews

Dear friends, I definitely know that you may know what short movies mean, but do you know what microfilms are？ If your answer is yes, you can go to read the third paragraph directly. If not, here we go now.

MicroFilm can also be known as short movies. It refers to a continuous roll of film containing photographs of documents at a greatly reduced size. But reduced size does not mean reducing the film quality and movie content. The whole film will be also amazing.

The current 21 century is unconventional display of self-style of the times, so why not make movie yourself and show others how splendid you and your life is. Everyone has the right to become super star and be famous. Wufu Productions is a really good sample for us. I never knew how common people can be so popular on Youtube. However, now I learnt that many Youtube gurus were common people before they became famous on Youtube. They were not borned to be famous.

It's very easy to make short movies yourself. There are two methods to select. You can hire a professional cameraman, like wendy slook book. Or you can make videos yourselves, like the beauty and brains. I strongly recommend the second choice. Save money, save time and express better.

There are many easy-to-use video editing softwares in the current market which allow you to make movies yourself, such as BlazeVideo Video Editor, VideoFlick and Video Magic. Firstly you need to make one or several short videos, so you need a DV here. Secondly edit the videos. This is very important. People do not like watching simple videos without any beautiful features. Always keep in mind that "Fine feathers make fine birds".

There are too many SNS medias in the current world, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Flickr, and more. By compared to simple words and pictures, videos can express people's mind and decorate life in a much better way. This is why Youtube never come down although many new media websites appeared these years.

In addition, if you want to express yourself in a better way, why not open a blog for yourself? You can register a blog on Wordpress or Blogger. Or you can own a self-hosted blog on wordpress or blogspot. It depends on how great you want yout life to be.
