Mina had arrived on set before either of her bosses. With nothing to do, and no real role she was meant to play, Mina grabbed her clipboard and made notes of the equipment that was used, barely used, or never used. She knew enough about the equipment on her list to know that there were comparative replacements that could perform one or more of the necessary functions.
For Example, there were cameras that could function for both wide angle and tight shots. If Director Porter had rented those instead, he could have saved the production $700 per camera. Mina was also aware that renting film equipment was not clear cut, and the price varied by connection and influence. It could very well have been that the cameras listed, were borrowed, and cost nothing.
Mina continued to walk around the set, making notes here and there. When she felt someone creeping up behind her. She slowed down, afraid to turn and look, but then she felt someone cover her eyes.
