83. BONUS QUESTION. If you could only afford to pay one of the
following crew members, which one would it be and why: b. the 1st AC
#83. Explain: There is no right answer to this question. However,
it's a lot cheaper to fix bad sound, than it is to fix a series of out of
focus shots, so I would have chosen (b), the 1st AC. With the high
speed film stocks today, anyone who read a few books on lighting could
make a shot look good. Also, it's not hard today to find a DP to work
for free for his reel. Good 1st AC's will always require you pay them.
You should always be
the last to get paid, if at all.
