Master Shots A

DIRECTION SHIFT

This shot can be used for an exit or an entrance. Two main characters are walking along a road. The direction shift tracks the characters' shift towards a different direction. When the characters are walking by, you film them from the side, tracking their action. Then when they are about to turn, you switch to a head on shot so the turn is noticeable. The transition can be used to introduce a new scene. There may be dialogue in the scene but if you don't have a mic, you should keep the dialogue short.
