Bad lighting is one of the worst problems that may face directors while shooting a video.
running out of memory or batteries,corruption of the memory card, delay of the cast,light equipment malfunctions, camera performance flaws,
transportation complications, disorganization of the set as a whole,wasting of time due to lack of seriousness of the crew members and missing equipment and props.
Worst thing is we cannot find the exact Lightning and shaking in Camera. Only in big screen or laptop you can find the problems such as lightning, shaking and focusing.
I strongly believe in the power of self-awareness, methodology and work ethics.Having functioning equipment should be almost a no-brainer. Advising you to check your power sources, lenses, the weather forecast and so on is implicit. Have a checklist developed during the preps and go over it whenever necessary. That does not require much of you really.On the other hand though, here's what I think requires diligence:Know and feel the story that is being told, get familiar with your crew and realize its strengths and weaknesses (as a team and also individually), understand your role and hierarchic position in the project, determine the circumstances in which you are about to work and the possibilities available for controlling the environment, choose your equipment mindful of all of the above (including the budget) and acutely aware of your technical prowess. Be honest to yourself at least and fair to the project and the rest of its crew - do not consciously venture into something you don't know you can handle without timely communicating your insecurities to the director and the production. Approach any issues in a relaxed and focused manner.Enjoy your evolution!

The lighting, if it's not good it will be really difficult to repair in post prod
first of all we check the forecast of weather. weather is big problem in shooting. light is another worst problem. you can check your tools befor shooting time, vieow of site you can shoot the video, protect your production value (too much attention)
