Note, I did not go in to filmmaking
Read a college AU fic today in which the pairing-of-choice were paired to shoot a short film for a class assignment. The fic itself was tiny, it wasn't a masterpiece or anything, it was clearly an id-fic of more idea than in-depth, plotty, beta-ed execution. Which is fine.
BUT.
As someone was who WAS paired up in film class to shoot short films, EVERYTHING ABOUT THE ASSIGNMENT IS WRONG. It's a GIANT PAIN to film five minutes of material!! You DO NOT do it in a single shot, good lord, who are you, Hitchcock?????
YOU DIDN'T EVEN CHECK THE WHITE BALANCE, BOYS. THAT'S GOING TO COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU. I CAPSLOCK FROM EXPERIENCE.
