Perception is a key factor in filmmaking

I’m the type of guy that learns very quick and apply the knowledge right away. We shot a short Monday Night where I was the Directing with another Director and also be the Director of Photography. I must say that it’s very hard to try to direct actors, be the camera man, and ensure that they are in focus. So you must have assistants working with you. In this case, I was fortunate to have another director to help guide the actors as well.

But the most important thing that I regret not doing that night was not give the actors the overall perception on how the film was going to be cut too. I felt as if they just don’t understand why we shoot in different angles and perspective. If they don’t have that solid understanding, it may cause lost of motivation and in back of their minds wonder if it’s going to be good or not.

So I recommend giving them an overall perspective on why we are shooting the next take just so they have a general idea on what’s going on to keep them motivated and pumped.
