You can find a few free samples that you can use and there are also premium bundles that you can purchase for a small fee.

But you still need to do something in those 7 seconds for people to like, comment and share it. My advice is to not get stuck on the 7 seconds because I have seen many videos that are longer and that are viral. It is true, I haven't seen videos over one minute, but up to 40 seconds should be good to go. Good luck!

Of course, if you are lucky to be picked by their unpredictable algorighm. I have seen many content creators post their work there and in the end, they got at least one viral video.
To increase my odds, I have read that my videos need to have a length. At the moment, a video on TikTok can be up to 10 minutes. I haven’t seen one video that is longer than 2 minutes in my For You page and this is why I am worried about this.

I am working on a very low budget because I am a student, I use mostly an iphone and a lavallier. This doesn’t seem to be enough. I know that pros use special gear to separately film (or purchase) background sounds such as steps, wind etc. I would want to try and record some of it myself with my gear. Also, when people speak in my videos, their voice is not so clear if I film outside and there is traffic.
Any advice?

This is not helping him get into any job that he wants. We once went for the same job (it was a temporary 3 months Internship) and he is more talented than I am, he has a better portfolio too. They did not take him because of his attitude...they took me because my attitude was friendly. I tried talking to him afterwards and tell him that his attitude needs to improve...he wouldn't listen to me. He was so upset. less

Each scene that is written down can be approached from multiple perspectives and there can be many solutions to the same problem. For this reason, it can be confusing for beginners to understand how to write a good script. Tips and inspiration can be found anywhere, especially among the Pros.
Screenwriting Tips from the Pros
Quentin Tarantino is best known for his creative movies. He started by watching as many movies as he could from an early age, until he finally decided to make some movies himself. His work is more complex that it seems and "steals from every movie ever made".In reality, he did not steal anything. He took what he liked in other movies and molded it according to his own ideas and vision. It would be safe to say that every movie he ever saw is a source of inspiration for him. An advice that Tarantino gives is to "make it personal". And this is exactly what he did in some... less

It can be difficult when you are just starting, because you do not have the experience to help you out. But don’t worry! Here are 3 ideas that might help you to write an engaging script for your film!
1. You are not writing a book, you are writing a script
The re is a major difference between writing a script and writing a book. One of the mistakes that beginner make is having the same approach towards a script that they would have towards a book. There are a few fundamental differences between the two and the most important one is time. In a book, you have the time to introduce your story and characters to the reader, who will gladly spend his time reading the first chapters. In a script, however, you only have a few minutes to introduce your story and engage your audience.
2. Before writing your first script, read as many scripts as you can
If great book writers are great readers, the same... less

The end result was supposed to be a creative music video, that would feature multiple characters from video games. Sadly, the pandemic restricted most outdoor activity for a long while, which made it very difficult to continue working on my small project. We only managed to film 20% of what we wanted.In the past week, I stumbled upon what we managed to film and I made a small edit of it, mostly for fun. I do plan to restart filming on this personal project at some point, but until then, here is a small preview of what I managed to do:
The song is called “Vanishing Point” by LifeLine Band. less
