There ' s also a proppark you can use to make more straight lines with concrete . Search for concrete brush e . g . <| sep |> I would recommend you to look into the work and insights of director Werner Herzog . He ' s of the opinion a film school is absolutely unnecessary and you can teach yourself the basics in just a couple of weeks . I ' m obviously simplifying and it depends on what you want to do but he believes the key to being a good director is just reading reading reading . I don ' t have any experience myself still friends who are studying the subject or work with movies have told me the same , film . school . is . overrated . So don ' t give up , get yourself a camera , some editing software and do it ! Best of luck mate
