Get a job as a PA (very easy) and work your way up from there.

I would look into which are your local syndicat or ‘agency’ for that and give them a call. For exemple for me, I live in Montréal, Canada, and we have a syndicat for set technicians called ‘Aqtis’ so I called them and ask how to get started, now I receive job offers everyday by email. The north American syndicat is called ‘Iatse’ and works the same way. Once you find out who runs the field in your country or area, give them a call :) especially right now is a great time to get started because they are missing employees in every department. It would be very easy to become a set PA (production assistant) even with no experience. Other ways is then to ask for facebook groups. We have a few here and I see job offers on there too. It’s also a great platform to ask general questions to other workers since you’ll get honest answers. Hope this helps :)

@@LaurieTheberge I also live in MTL wow the world is small XD. The "problem" I found with these associations is that because they are syndicate I was told that before becoming a member you had to generate a bunch of "credits" which is the long and difficult process. As well as you can not mix studies with aqtis for exemple. I do not know much about LATSE though. But I agree that Montreal is a very nice place to work in cinema. I DONT KNOW IF I'M WRONG SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME :)

@@olivierparent3554 oh nice! Yes you do need to accumulate credits, but thats basically your experience to get your title. So you need to pick your department and your role and get your credits there to get your title. The good thing now is that you can buy your membership, which means you are second in line to see the job offers and Aqtis holds less percentage off your pay check. Yes it can take a long time do get your credits, it also depends on the department you choose, for exemple in the camera department, you need to be 2nd AC, get all your credits, than 1st AC, get your credits, to than be a cam operator and than a DOP. While my department, Continuity, I just accumulate my credits as a Script Supervisor. Theres a lot of unpaid observation days to do, but it’s doable. The thing to remember tho is that since Aqtis is a syndicat, you are insured if you are injured on set, you are paid according to common laws and agreements, you pay your taxes and shit with every pay so you don’t have to accumulate thousands to pay your taxes at the end of the year, you get access to insurances for meds, dental, physio and such. It’s basically giving you all the perks of a yearly paid employee, but while having the status of a freelancer. The time it will take you to get your credits is well worth all of that. And anyways, all jobs in Montreal pass by Aqtis, so you don’t have much choice if you wanna work on set. They are now merging with iatse so we will start seeing American offers…just like I’m seeing offers to work on Transformers 7 right now. Pretty cool.

I have used a very unorthodox method to achieve negative fill or bounce in a couple of instances in the past, that only really works in very tight shots, and should not be a method to be relied heavily on, but it does work when you have no other options, or very limited resources to shape light. Essentially what I've done is notice that someone, who is on set, and is not particularly busy at the moment, that is reasonable large person, and happens to be wearing either a white or black, or very bright or dark shirt, can act as bounce or negative fill when being near the subject in a pinch in certain scenarios. Like I said, not the ideal method, but you got to use the resources that are available to you to get the shot looking more the way you want.

I find this really interesting but I have one big question on that topic. How do they light a scene properly when the camera moves instantly and you have different frames? e.g. The Person walks into his house and the camera follows him with a steady cam shot. We see the house outside, we walk through the door (lights change completely ?!) we see the ceiling and walls etc. There is no change to put lights or black tissue to reduce light for example. how is this done? I'm interested how they make sure that the film or chip doenst get overexposed when they walk from light to dark places or vice versa. Hope you understand what i mean. Im not a native speaker

It depends on the shot/location/technical approach/etc. Balancing the exposure (adding more light to an interior) without placing any lights inside is often done by setting up a powerful source, such as an 18K HMI, outside the location through a window. If there's a large change in exposure, sometimes an iris pull is done. This is where a wireless motor is attached to the iris gear on the lens. The lens may start at T/5.6 when the camera is outside and there's lots of light and then as the camera moves inside where there is less light the lens is opened up by wirelessly changing the aperture to T/2 or whatever to compensate for the change in exposure.

@@robertobuatti7226 I think that filmschool is the best choice. Maybe you can find one in your city. The most useful thing about a film school is the relationships between people, as you can't make a movie alone. You would start to get in contact with people that have your same passion, everything becomes easier then. Don't let the possible age gap between you and the other people (maybe the majority of them will be in their 20s) stop you from doing that, it really doesn't matter.
