What Its Like Doing Film Shoot After Film Shoot (After Film Shoot)

Ugh. That film life, though.

Film shoots can be rough. Film shoots can be fun. Film shoots can go all night. Oh, what fun it is! And let me tell you why!

1. Sleep is not your friend

Sleep is rare. Get it while you can.

2. Have caffeinated drinks

I mean, do you want to crash at all? Because it won’t be fun…. Or pretty.

3. You're very surprised when shoots end early

It’s a blessing. Because you never know how long a shoot will take. And shoots that end early are the best.

4. You feel dead inside when you have to get up early for class the next day

The one downside of shooting on a school night is going pretty late. And having an early class the next day.

5. Stress

The stress level can get pretty high. And it won't be pretty.

6. You feel pretty damn good after a shoot

No matter how long the shoot is, it still feels good to get it done and over with.

7. Breakdown is such a relief

Finally getting all the lights out of the way. And having everything away is a great feeling. Until you have to do it all over again for the next day.

8. Feet will be sore

We’re on our feet for a good chunk of filming. And it will get tiring.

9. Breaks are short lived

Eat and then get back to filming. Such a great life style.

10. Prepping for actually being in the field

I mean, it does help us prepare for when we actually go into the field. The long days, the tiredness, the soreness.

11. Dealing with people that may irk us

There is always that chance of getting that one person in your group that no one likes. And you hope they don’t show up for any of the shoots. And so you can tell your professor they didn’t do anything. Because no. And its good practice for the field as well.

12. Always thinking on the fly

Things change. Things have to change. Your film is always evolving.

13. When you do get to sleep, it's a blessing

Literally. Take it.

14. And when you're finally done, it's such a relief

It’s done. It’s all over. I can breathe!

All in all, film shoots are fun. And they are spontaneous. But back to back (to back) film shoots can be over whelming.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
