Welcome to indietalk.Lets say we have a tightly choreographed shootout scene - how do you guys cue the reactions to the trigger pulls, etc?
Assuming we are not using blank fiiring guns, what options/methods have you guys used for timing this stuff?
Thanks!
In many cases a tightly choreographed shootout scene will be shotOk, that was the first thing that came to mind - but if it is a fast paced scene with several gunshots, isn't there the chance that would step on otherwise good recorded dialogue ?
In general each shoot will have it's own challenges. But in generalI could definitely break it down and do plenty of coverage - this is fast paced, and up close - so maybe a quick master shot or two, the rest will be cut betweens - but i was also thinking in general, for future reference
Another possibility is to rehearse the tightly choreographed shootout scene
over and over and over. Once the performers have the choreography down
cold then an off screen voice may not be needed. But, again, since you
won't be using the production audio (or at least not all of it) I see no reason
to not have an off screen voice helping them out.
Good luck with the shoot! Hope you stick around to show it too us.
