When I watch blooper reels of TV shows, if an actor keeps dropping a prop or messing up a line, and is laughing, they all say something to the effect: “Don’t cut!! Keep rolling!! Don’t cut!! I’ll get it right.” Why do they care so much about this? I can only assume it adds a lot more time to their day if they keep having to “cut” and restart…. But why?

Also any cut can mean having to recheck / reset lights, sound, camera operations, a general pause in the flow of things. If it’s possible to keep shooting on the same take and get what they need, everyone’s day is shorter.
