ANECDOTE

Big Filmmaking Fail

  • Matt D'Avella's biggest filmmaking mistake was shooting a reality show without knowing the camera well.
  • He trusted others to set his camera, resulting in wrong settings and missed footage.
INSIGHT

Reality TV Is Scripted

  • Reality shows are heavily scripted and staged despite being called "reality."
  • Alternate endings and rehearsals make reality TV less authentic than perceived.
ADVICE

Verify Your Camera Settings

  • Never fully trust others to handle your camera settings; always verify yourself.
  • Even if inexperienced, ask questions and learn to avoid major mistakes on set.
