  2. 2. Choose the film style;
  3. 3. And indicate one last tip about what the film is (just choose one of the options).

16) How long does it take a film to be ready?

Currently it takes up to 2 minutes, depending on the speed of your Internet connection, but we are working on reducing the film producing length.

17) Is it mandatory to insert key-words on shooting a film?

Though not mandatory, it’s suggest you do. The search by content is done based on the keywords you have inserted to proceed to searching on social networking sites. Therefore, the more keywords you have, the easier will be to Stayfilm to perform that search regarding to what is just essential to your film.

18) What is the difference between theme and style?

The theme refers to the contents you have provided: a trip you have taken, a wedding party, a cookout, a birthday party and others. The style however is related to the format of the film that will be produced. You can choose from a range of covers that you prefer, such as: horror, adventure, love, technology, etc.

19) I have tried to shoot a film many times and got the warning there is insufficient content. What should I do?

The reason is that the search tool needs “tips” from you in order to find the content. If the search tool warns there is “insufficient content” it is because the information provided isn't enough to find it. In order to optimise that search, you need to insert keywords that identify the desired content of the film. Those keywords may be related to the titles of the albums, pictures/films or words on the file description. If you still can't shoot the film, select more social networking sites and/or upload files directly from your computer.
