Locations and scenes are cut, department heads are nudged (or outright cajoled) into making cuts to equipment and manpower orders. When we do a TV series, cutting the budget is usually the operating culture. I work in film and TV production, and its amazing to me the difference (often, not always) in the production mind-set on feature films, which trickles down from the producers usually. Because the budget has become part of the selling mystique of a big top film. We're in an era now where huge sums of money are spent on tentpole pictures, not because (or at least not always because) it's required, but because they can. What hasn't been brought up yet is the political cost of feature film production. It's lots of little things that take up time, which in turn costs more money.Ī lot of people have touched rather well on the practical expenses associated with tentpole feature production. Things like colour temperature and ISO adjustments can be done quickly on a digital camera, there's way more tinkering to do on a film camera. Lots of inconvenience and time consuming aspects: Loading a film reel takes more time than connecting a hard drive. ![]() At the very least, Spectre would have had a view finder display for the director to watch as they were filming, so this would lesson the room for error at the very least. You'll have to wait for film dailies to process, which can take days, and if the director is unhappy with the result that equals reshoots which equals more money. Manageability: You can't instantly view what you shot on film like you can on a digital camera. Film you'd have to worry about actual physical damage, and would require some more extreme storage to preserve footage. While you'd have to worry about possible data corruptions, digital stuff (dailies) would be backed up at the end of the day a few times over for safety. It's a lot of hard drives, but compare that to actual film, where the amount you shoot is physically the amount you have to store and carry around with you. For reference, David Fincher shot 500 hours of raw footage on Gone Girl which translates to about 315TB of footage. Storage: When filming on a digital camera, footage saves to a small hard drive. Some other things that get taken into account: Gross uses of the word "underrated" and other hyperbolic terms ("the worst ever", etc) may resolve in a ban.įor leaked info about upcoming movies, twist endings, or anything else spoileresque, please use the following method ( leave the quotes in): Clickbait titles will be removed.Īvoid exaggerated terms.
