[A good Website I have read]----How to Make a Comedy Movie(2)

3

Obtain equipment. A camera and lights is the bare minimum you will need. You can shoot on film or video, but video is a cheaper alternative, as it is less expensive to purchase and does not incur high developing costs. You can purchase or rent these from different companies. Perform an Internet search and compare prices before making a decision. Depending on the type of camera, you may need to obtain separate sound recording equipment as well.

Hire actors. You can put an ad in the paper or one of several trade magazines such as Backstage. Indicate a description of the role, the shooting time and how much, if anything, the actor will be paid. Make sure that the actor is appropriate to the role not only in terms of appearance and age, but also in terms of comedic style. A rubber-faced Jim Carrey impersonator will seem out of place in a satire and a dry-witted stand-up actor won’t work in a slapstick comedy.
