If someone desires to have a test shoot done to have an idea of the way a project will look before wasting time filming the entire thing, how would they go about doing that? Before continuing to use the wrong camera, lenses, lighting and whatever else --how would they? I'm asking this because i image people want certain projects to look a certain way before shooting it, but have no idea of knowing if will visually look they way they want without inevitably wasting money, time, and energy filming something that'll be worthless by mistake. Have you ever filmed a test shoot before? How did you go about doing it, if so? Ever know anyone that has? How did they, If so? When are they requested usually? How are they requested? How do they look when finished? Similar to the way the final project will look? Unfinished? Without post production work? With? The same thing a field monitor would show? More than that?
