course of the actual performance. In the cinema, however, it is
impossible to erase or correct anything which has already been
filmed. If the shooting has to be repeated because of poor visual
representation, this causes a waste of film, manpower and time, and
confusion in the complicated process of film-making.
When making a film, the director must, from the outset, pay
