One was about shooting for TV coverage.. this is shooting a scene about three times
First a wide shot covering all the action in the scene...
Then shooting close ups of each character to capture their expressions.
This is boring. and its the same on every show, its a fast way to get the coverage, but not original...
The other way is to plan out a shot and cover all the action so there is no need for any editing.
This really inspired me when watching the end scene of Children of men. that there was no obvious editing, and it made and it made for an amazing immersive experience.
This really inspired me to think differently about shooting and my approach to any specific scene. both in the way to shoot quickly with TV coverage. but also trying to capture the action with one shot in a creative way.
Great - thanks, Josh!
