I am a gardener boy and aspiring prospective cinematographer.I don't see any other ways but putting my legs at the door. According to what you said I with my Iranian background suck then.

Just be positive and cross your fingers you'll get there some day.

Thank you all :)

Some factors to consider in shooting ratios include:

 

Lo-no budg productions in public locations. Noisy locations with random loud noises increase the number of blown takes. In my area, pick-up trucks are a common take-killer. ADR is sometimes the only way to keep the ratio intact at the expense of the post production budget. Usually, though, we've shot video and just let the camera roll. Uncontrollable noise, alone, doubles, even triples our ratios.

 

Untrained and quirky actors. Getting a take that is anywhere close to being useful from an average performer is hard enough. You get an actor that has head or emotional problems and the take ratio can go through the roof right along with the budget, patience of the crew, other cast and the sanity of everyone associated. Scenes that don't work can end up needing re-shooting. Fire crazy performers immediately (before re-shoots come into play) and recast with anyone who comes close or better. On the bottom end of production nut-bag performers are plentiful. They can act (lie) their way into your production. But, they can't hold up to the rigors of movie making.

 

Inefficient production techniques. This can happen at any level, at any time and with anybody. Keep everyone's ass in gear and keep grinding out takes as efficiently as possible. Movie making is part carnival, part factory and part art. Juggling that is up to the principle creators like the producer, director, production managers, line producers, DPs, assistant director and any department heads. On a lo-no budg production most of those departments and jobs are your job.

 

Hope that's useful.

Awesome,it was the best description that I had heard. Cool.
