Main Points of This Article
•Each video entry suffered one fatal flaw– They lacked the basic sequencing of video clips.
•The sequence is the foundation of all video storytelling.
•Sequences compress time in a video story. Without the compression, all you have left is long video clips that visually bore viewers to death.
•Proper sequencing gives the video editor a better way to pace a story by using a variety of wide, medium and tight shots.
When shooting a sequence you have to anticipate the action. When I’m shooting, I’m always running scenarios through my mind. I asking myself: Where’s the action headed? Where do I need to position myself to be in the right spot? What shots do I need to get me from point A to point B?
•Try to remember to shoot a variety shots.
•It’s most important to hold your shots for about 10 seconds each.
•Don’t pan or zoom; just let the actions enter or leave the frame.
