I worked on a student film set for a few weeks, as a favor to a friend. For months afterword I couldn’t stop seeing the decomposition into shots, recognizing dollies, jibs, etc. Just standing on set watching the sequence of events, connecting the image to what the camera is doing (very often moving on some apparatus), seeing the repetition of shots for correctness and multiple camera angles, the laborious dragging around of lights on C stands, etc. provided a great introductory education to film.
