Description step by step
- Choose the setting (the background) and who will be the actors in this dialogue scene. The dialogue should be something simple and short, max 2min. For example, speaking about the weather or introducing themselves to each other.
- Shoot the dialogue with a tripod in a single scene where both actors are in the frame.
- Shoot the scene with the camera handheld and be free to change angle or move in closer or away.
- Shoot the dialogue in “pieces”. Name the actors A and B. Make a different shot every time one of them is speaking.
- Watch the shots and discuss the different results. Answer questions like:
- In which case would you use each scene?
- Which one do you prefer and why?
- Do any of them cause any emotions?
