How Many Shots Can You REALISTICALLY Film In A Day?
Congrats! You've written a film, you're put a team together, and now you're ready to shoot your film. You might be wondering: How many shots will I be able to fit in a day? This is a key question, and will determine whether what you capture will lead to a high quality film. The biggest mistake you can make is be too ambitious with how many shots you can capture. This almost always results in rushed productions - which is a breeding ground for fatal mistakes that kill your film. In this video, I walk you though my process for how I planned my shooting schedule for a short film I shot a few weeks ago "A TRUE WINNER." I reveal how many shots I was actually able to capture in a 13-hour day, whether I should have shot more or less, and how many shots you need to aim for to ensure a high quality, efficient production. If you find this video helpful and want to follow me along on my filmmaking journey as I reveal more behind the scenes insights, please SUBSCRIBE so you don't miss a video! Best, Max
