If someone asks you why you chose a closeup or why a character entered from the right side of the screen, be able to tell them. If anything it’ll make you think about the importance of each shot in the movie, give you a better handle on your craft, and make your work more intentional.
notes for myself after shooting my first feature, Greyscale. I recently wrapped and want to keep the lessons I learned fresh, as well as keep a bit of a scrapbook of pictures and videos from production.
If this helps you out as a new director/filmmaker, wonderful. I learned so much on my first major outing.

Feel free to email and share lessons you've learned on (any) set and I'll work on including the most helpful ones in.
