All my scribbling was done before the shoot;
rarely during.
The "PLAN" and its accompanying check list is what is most important in a 
project.

The same held true for my recent ceramic tiling and plumbing project.
Planning notes; and tools and materials checklist.
The only notes made during the actual work was marks on the tile for cutting.

Likewise I may have written on a film holder, canister, or roll, "N+2, or 
Push 1 Stop, or Clip test first 4 frames"
