Some things I will do differently on my next shoot

I have thought more about what I would like to do differently on my next
film.

First I will have playback of every take! Its kinda like watching baseball
with no instant replays... How did we survive without replays?

Second I had a revelation when I was shooting stills with a digital
camera... I realized that since I had digital and I knew that the quantity
of pictures I took didn't matter since it wasn't costing me anything, I took
more pictures but I didn't take as much though as I did when I shot film.
Shooting film I would take great pains to make sure what I was photographing
was perfect because every frame cost money. All that to say that on my next
shoot I will pretend that I am shooting film, and that every second of the
take costs a lot of money, and this I hope will lead me to developing a
habit of filming with economy in mind. This being a characteristic of film.
They typically tell the story in the smallest amount of takes as possible.

Third I will put more emphasis on my storyboards I will try to make them
match the style I discussed earlier which is economy.
