How to become a documentary film maker? (day, make, best)

[fashionfilm]

Documentary film making is in huge demand today. But It is not a easy task to become a documentary film maker. In order to become a successful documentary film maker

one must follow some guidelines. I am discussing them below:

• Understanding the goal behind making the documentary.
• Finding the topic of documentary before starting the work.
• Gathering required information for making the film in the best manner.
• Checking every person and equipments before starting shooting.
• Editing the full documentary after shooting to give it the best appeal.
• Promoting it in a local Fashion Film Festival.

I'm not sure I get the purpose of your post. Most of your points are so obvious as not to need mentioning, and the last is puzzling.

And, by the way, don't you think this would belong in the Movie forum? That would be part of your points of checking and gathering information.

A friend of mine makes documentaries and he has a real dedication to it. The cameras and editing equipment is very expensive and luckily he is talented enough to make his own music. Otherwise he would be paying for it.
He does make a living from it and his camera has taken him to some amazing places to film and interview amazing people.

producing a good interesting documentary is the easy part, finding a distributor/ market is a a different story.

Hmmmm How about making a documentary about making a documentary?
