I got into film/TV because of stories. Although probably not talked about a lot on here...has anyone had an emotional experience on set? This is aside from doing your job and getting the shot. I watched the indy film The Beginner's and thought about if I was on that set, some of it was pretty powerful and if I was the mixer I would have found myself going through some of the same emotions the viewers were intended to have.
If you the sound mixer get the shot as your supposed to, is it bad to shed a tear of laughter or sadness etc. Is this in the grey area of set etiquette? Also when being a boom operator, are you always supposed to avert your eyes from the actor/not make eye contact? I have had a few moments doing a few films, and no one has exactly said anything because everyone seemed to be on the same page. Anyway thoughts?
