Workshop #2: BBC 5-shot Method

The five shots:

  • Medium shot to establish the sequence. It will start with someone talking or something going on. Jake
  • recommends it is sedintary and the camera will stay still.
  • Closeup shot to establish the people in the video.
  • Hands shot or an action shot of what your subject is doing.
  • Over the shoulder shot to show the subject interacting with another person.
  • A shot panning over the area of the venue.

The five shot method is one of the easiest ways to get good video and create a video story.
