This is great! And there's also video glitches too.

And have you ever noticed when you watch a movie set in
the tropics? There never seem to be any pesky bugs? 

Oh and in most hospital scenes the patient looks like she or he just
got out of the beauty salon? heh.


Pay attention to scenes out in broad daylight. Continuity is very
difficult in out of door situations because of the weather. If say
two or three subsequent scenes are filled on a gloomy over cast day
you can't shoot the next scene (that takes place only a few minutes
after the first)... if the sun is showing through.

That's why indoor scenes with no shadows/ all lighting controlled, are
far easier especially on the budge.


OH and the actors too! If a scene is delayed for MONTHS. the
actor/actress may have lost /gained weight or say  got a mysterious
black eye or something that has to be explained.
