Laptop with long battery life

A laptop is always handy and you can have all your essential documents and files ranging from your scripts to your editing fundamentals loaded in it and can easily access anywhere anytime you need. Just be sure it has a good battery life and internet connection.

Website

Creating your own website is much needed these days. It adds an extra spark to your establishment. So get your own domain and build your own website to reach more people.

Camera

Socializing is a must

You must build a strong network to get a good reach. Building your own social networking group is of course mandatory.  You must be available on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social promotional apps.

A good speech steals the show

If you are shy of speaking, then sorry dear, this is not the right place for you. Media always runs on marketing and if you cannot pitch well you cannot survive here. So, upgrade your speech skills and participate in your films to bring the best out of them.

A good headphone is what you need

A filmmaker should also be updated with gadgets. You should have good headphones as you need to attend meetings. It is essential for a good filmmaker to have a good audio gadget as it is also a part of his daily work to listen to a lot of important stuff.

Schedule
