All the films made in the US have subtitles irrespective of whether it is a DVD or streaming service. Of course, it goes without saying for foreign films. But I have noticed most (or some?) of the UK films don't have subtitles, particularly the 1930s to 2000s. Is there any specific reason they...

The 12 minute short film I am working now, has ~ 5 minutes of dialogue. As the production sound was no good, we did the ADR for 3 minutes. Most of the dialogue was only 2 lines, so I thought it wasn't going to be that hard, but I was wrong. It was somewhat tedious than I thought. Also after few...

In one of the book I was reading (What They Don't Teach You at Film School by Camille Landau and Tiare White), they listed many uses of duct tapes on the set. One of them is: "To lift the face of an aging actress who had to play herself twenty years younger. It really worked. At worst, she...
