Using the camera.

On location- shooting outside on inside, somewhere you want a scene to take place. There are advantages, disadvantages, and challenges for this. Advantages: Disadvantages: Challenges:
 * 1) You don't have to set up a set; all you have to do is dress for it.
 * 1) Space can be tight. Trying to get people and equipment into one small place in order to shoot your segment can be very tricky. (Imagine shooting in a narrow stairwell and need to use a tripod...)
 * 2) You can't control the weather. If you need to shoot outdoors and it's sunny outside for one shot, raining the next, and snowing in the one after that, it won't be very a believeable segment.
 * 1) If you're going to be on someone's property, try to get permission first. If someone shows up, let them know where you're from and what you're doing. Most people are pretty understanding when they know you're a student.
 * 2) PLEASE CLEAN UP AFTER YOURSELF. Leave it exactly the way you found it.
