Learning from music video

1) Do shot breakdown in detail - without compromising. (Good you did it this time and realizd the difference)
2) Make sure when you are taking rush shots - folks are not looking at the camera3) Don't get concious if there is crowd watching you. Learn to work in the crowd
3) Have a camera person. Have him on board earlier so that no time in explaining issues.
4) Have an assistant only for continuity. It is very important
5) Do good crowd control. Have one production guy for crowd control.
6) Take one back up shot for every good shot. You will be surprised to know that you end up using backup shots more.

Learning from my videos so far

Biggest learning in an institute were you are judged (sometimes by mortals of lower intelligence)-
1)Take all criticisms positively and evaluate each of them. They are very very useful.


1) MFP
If the actor is speaking too fast. Tell him that. Give pauses for audience to understand the joke. Give them time. Edit without cutting dialogues.

2) 7 shots
Improve the framing. If a girl is looking like a girl (and you do not want her to look like a girl) - camouflage her better so that she doesn't look like a girl.

3) Moments of solitude
1) Take permissions
2) Hear sound using headphones when doing the final sound design.
3) Don't get self-indulgant with your best shots at the time of editing.Make it crisp.
4) Continuity - note down the issues of continuity - left hand write hand etc while changing the perspective shots. Make sure that your actors stick to the lines else difficult to intercut also. Show 2-3 people to take their input before you release the final ut ot the general audience. Must show to Saurabh first.
5) Meditate on script for a good amount of time, it should have atleast 5-6 draft (even if it is a 6 mins script).
Put your scriptwriting classes to good use while evaluating the script.
