Good afternoon,
The explanation of the triple shot in the 5 C's of Cinematography cautions that this technique is best used when an action can be repeated in order to match end and beginning points of the long, medium and close-ups.
Is there an equivalent technique for documentary shooting when one simply wants to record a scene as it is and not interfere with the 'actors'?
Or does a filmmaker simply employ the triple shot technique and, because it is documentary, not worry so much about matching endings and beginnings of shots?
Cheers,
John
