Howdy,
I am just wondering how everyone goes about getting different shots when shooting particular scenes. Lets use a basic scene for an example for fun, and then everyone can pitch how they would want to shoot it in order to get the best scene, and the best shots to work with when editing.
If there was two characters sitting in a resturaunt having an argument, and then eventually one of the characters gets up and throws a glass of water on the other character, and the entire resturaunt is watching by this point...how would you go about getting the actual shots?
Would you shoot the whole scene through just filming one characters face, then re-shoot the entire scene just filming the other characters face, then re-shoot it all from another angle so you can see them both for the whole scene, then shoot the resturaunt's patrons expressions during the scene once more and then edit them into a scene with the angles constantly changing? Or would you take another approach by shooting only the lines that you want the camera to see a certain face on (I.E Storyboard the whole scene, and cut the shots up line-by-line).
Anyways just curious how you would personally go about shooting.
