The Shoot – Avoiding mistakes The most common reasons for not being able to use footage are uncontrolled movement, poor framing and bad focusing. Here is a list of a few hard learned lessons to think about during the shoot to avoid mistakes:
—	Avoid altering the shot too quickly. If filming in a controlled environment, take some time to review the footage outside the space where you are working. If you are filming an event that cannot be stopped and you know the action is important but your image is wrong, then quickly readjust it so some portion of the shot is usable. Another tactic is to correct the frame slowly so the change is less obvious. Focusing works much the same way. A short moment of bad focus does not necessary ruin the shot.
—	Reserve more time than you think you need. Especially before any models arrive.
—	Always check when in doubt. And if in doubt after checking, do a retake. A beautiful three minute pan can be ruined by a little shake in the last second. Review the material thoroughly!
—	If you can, record directly to a hard disk and do a quick sketch edit immediately on set. You might find that a certain pan absolutely doesn't cut with the following shot and you still have the opportunity to re-shoot.
—	When problems arise STOP everything you are doing and troubleshoot the issue properly. Take all problems seriously as you may not have another opportunity to shoot the scene again.
—	If recording to solid state, do not delete bad scenes during the shoot. There is always a risk you will delete the good scene by mistake when working under stressful conditions. If you have to delete, take utmost care that you actually are deleting the correct file.
