Workshop #1 BBC 5 Shot Method
The BBC has created a method of short film captures to be able to tell a story to your audience in a very crafty and unique way. This is called the 5 shot method.
The shots are as follows:
-Medium Shot: The establishing shot. An example of how it would begin would be to focus on someone talking. The camera stays focused on one item.
-Close-up Shot: Establish the people that are being featured in the story
-Action Shot: A shot of someone (relation to the topic) doing something
-Over the Shoulder: This is of one featured person talking to another
-Pan: Let the audience see that what they are hearing matters by showing a large group of people
