I have used clips of my actors when they are being normal in my films and are completly unaware that they are being recorded lol.

watch out for watches! haircuts! people moving cups and if you make films like i do where all of it isnt done in a day then if you use the same room, take pictures, youll be surprised at what can change. after remembering 4,000 things, theres always something someone wont see, the first person to spot it is the editor LOL

ALSO if film in street public, be quick before people move their cars like we found the other week

how to direct a film independently without waiting for any producer, becoz in india its a tuff job to find a producer and secondly there are much exploitation also.. can a short film be made without much investment plus how to choose a subject for the short film and where to send it ?

Essential advice! We just did a movie and our script supervisor wasn't doing his job, so we ended up forgetting to film a few lines and had gaping continuity errors that impeded the editing process.

Good advice!

One way to keep continuity is using multipule cameras at once, but that can be expensive. ALWAYS have a shot list/storyboard, and the script while filming. And always refer to them before and after every single shot.

Continuity never bothers me? Ever seen Evil Dead or Dick Donner's Cut of Superman II? They had loads of continuity problem-os, but they're still great.
