Filming is probably the costliest part of the production process, so we always want to make sure we have what we need for the edit. But when is enough enough?
In this session we will be joined by the Editing team at Yellowmoon, one of Ireland’s leading post houses, who will share their advice and tips, from the editors point of view, on how thinking about the edit while you are shooting will help you capture the footage they need to tell the story.
