The three things you learned about making movies from listening to the movie and crew and cast
· I learn that the making film is not easy to do it; we have many things to succeed in it.
· Nowadays with the technology, it is easy to move the camera anywhere.
· Also I learn that didn’t see that the shooting too hard and thinking that I didn’t shoot this scene before reading the script.
Why you picked this three important things
I choose this three things because I think that nothing in our life is hard. But doing any jop need conviction to do it. And I agree that with the technology now a day making film became easy because everything we need it is available.
