Fundamentals of shooting visual sequences

Visual sequences - what do they do?
Compress time
Provide context and detail
Reinforce narrative

Shoot a variety of wide, medium and tight shots which help move the viewer 

Sequences help compress time in a video(advanced montage)


Shoot establishing shots of the action to create context


Use different medium shots to the action to create context

More close ups rather than wide or medium shots to produce the detail necessary 

Close ups help to stop jump cuts

Jump cuts interrupt continuity 

Do not feel compelled to follow the action

Avoid using pans, tilts and zooms
