Over the years and dealing with hundreds of directors.,a great number of them have argued about various procedures..The favourite on is 'When you shoot on film rain is not seen..so why have you stopped shooting when its raining.?
I have no idea where they got that message from but they firmly believed it..until I pointed out a number of rainy scenes ..mainly in major movies. All filmed on 'Film'...it gave them food for thought.
Another favourite is for them to shoot 20 takes or more on the same shot..without giving directions to the actors..or anyone else..Apparently they think the actors will' up' their game..The truth is the Editor usually picks the 3rd take..mainly because the actor goes into robot mode....and it shows...If you go past seven takes you have lost the plot..and the performer...believe me.
More soon.
