>>3001023Making a horror movie is the best advice I can give for amateurs. Even if it's trashy making a horror film gives you good filmmaking habits by forcing you to constantly consider the audience. Their perspective, what information they have, if the cuts flow, how to give them information, etc. It can also be super cheap to make and personal style is welcome as long as it isn't overpowering the rest of the film.
More advice is to not take it all too seriously when you're starting out. Your first work will suck and if you're holding what you made up with complete reverence being shown how shitty it is will feel like a gunshot to the chest. Learn to take criticism but, more importantly, learn how to improve. There's nothing worse than someone who keeps glaring flaws in their work because "it's my personal style."
