Experience on the Saturday shoot

Saturday shoot was actually a lot of fun and i enjoyed it very much. I was so glad we got great weather because, while i would have rather been at the beach, i was also doing something i love outdoors in the sun. i had missed the meeting on monday with the group due to my flight not getting in because of bad weather so really i found out about the project that day. it was fun have to really prep for one take because i'm sure down the road we may not be able to waste film and really need to over prepare shots so that we get the take on the first or second take. it may be due to financial reasons or it may be due to time but giving us only one take was a an interesting way of shooting especially in todays age of digital filmmaking when you can just erase and do it again or just have more drive or disk space to film on. it kind of puts you back when they could only shoot on expensive film and every shot counted and you had to keep rolling no matter what. all in all i loved the saturday shoot. i know some people were not happy about coming in on a saturday but i am ready to be working on films in the near future out of school and they will require many hours no matter what day of the week it is. all the matters is that it gets done. hopefully under or on budget and within the time frame
