Visual story telling.
Great visual story telling comes from many places like directing the audiences attention with light, but a basic foundation to strong visual stories is "sequencing". A series of shots when put together that form an action. A sequence is a series of wide shots, medium shots, close ups, two shots. To mention just a few. When you go to a movie and you see a certain sequence, along with other elements of a motion picture, and if there is real cinematic power it will come from a combination of editing, sound, music, all connecting in the story. When those things work and they really connect, you are transported.
When you direct the audiences attention with light you want to think about the way the light is set up. And what mood that the particular setup creates. Keep the 5 C's of cinematography close by; camera angles, continuity, close ups,
composition, cutting. Think about mood, time, setting, place. Your writing the story with the camera and lighting.

In Conversation with Stanley, Part 1.
Listen you can get people to do the leg work and include them in the collabrative process of your film, but if your not concearned and almost obsessed with every aspect to compleate and perfect your vision, who is?
Work Hard on the image, what is presented from corner to corner. What does the composition need to include and exclude. To get that quality shot that sows the story together.
Pre plan these images and shots. Get them concreate before you shoot and then your better prepared for evolving and on the spot ideas on set.
You see composition within the frame is always very important. Photography really helps to develop this and ingrave it without all the other elements of a motion picture frame. It is still and you develop your control from a solid foundation with an eye that knows what to look for.
From there when you evolve, take convetional shot ideas and reinvent them or exaggerate them, inbed them with a few variables of the 6, angle, image size, motion, depth of field, focus, speed and zoom. And push those elements with the shot idea to where few take it.

Live it, breath it, utilize the subconscious.
There are so many things that are going to call for your attention when making a film and going through, pre production, production and post production. And if you lack in one it can effect the other as your making the film three times. If you really love movies, I mean "REALLY" love movies as Quentin Tarantino said. You can't help but make a good film, but to get there your going to have to put in the hours to learn. Film school is a good option. Though if you can't go. You'll have to be the school yourself. Have an exceptional hunger to learn. Then all that knowledge is going to need time to swish around in your head. So experiment with little projects that use the three stages of production, get reactions. Learn the rules, keep the rules, break the rules. Then after that time in the cocoon when all comes to a boil. Go for a feature. If you have funds and face film school or feature film that's a hard choice, but if you really feel your ready and put in those endless hours, go for the feature.
