It's a quick way to make your film without having to commit that many resources.</p>NinjaVsPenguinMon, 25 Aug 2008 13:00:28 -0000http://www.ninjavspenguin.com/blog/2008/08/21/filming-for-the-cut/#comment-1826015<p>I did the same thing you did at first... shooting for coverage. But more and more I switched to shooting for the cut. I haven't done it in awhile, but that's still my preferred technique, and I sometimes use shot lists or story boards to make sure I get what I want for the editing room. The more you do it the easier it gets to cut the thing together in your head as you shoot.</p><p>I also agree with you. If you have a single camera, a mix of shooting for the cut and shooting coverage is probably best. Shoot with a plan for what you'll need and get all those shots. If there's extra time, shoot a bit of coverage for some extra options incase things don't look the way you had originally envisioned when you get to editting.</p>JeffMon, 25 Aug 2008 10:04:23 -0000
