Here's where you gather all your raw footage. If you don't get it here, as someone on a budget, you just won't have it. Always be ready to get one more shot and try your best to focus your attention on details as well as the wider picture of what your viewing audience will see and experience.

You may be surprised that for all the time you've spent getting a feel for how to compose an elegant shot, what is often most important when it comes time for the actual production is people-management skills.

Film almost always looks better in high-motion outdoor shots. It can bring a warmth that is very hard to approximate with even very good digital cameras. It is also very expensive, especially when you're using new stock that hasn't been sitting in a can for several years.
