I like to shoot scenes where I can see the beginning, middle and end of the entire scene. But, when you edit a movie together, you can just cut right into the middle. You don't need to see them walk into the room and put their jacket on the chair. There's always a lot of shoe leather that you can remove.
I would love to shoot on film, but you can't really shoot a lot of footage on film, and you can't print a lot of it.
It's more enjoyable to shoot in a studio on a single location with two actors. . . if they are good.
