Film & TV 1 (Question 3)

Based on the week 4 lecture, two of the reasons why we ‘shoot to edit’ is because we can have extra footage and allows for multiple shoots. Firstly, we have to ‘shoot to edit’ so that we can have time for extra footage to be taken. It is very important that all the required footage is obtained during this time, if there is only one day of shooting. Therefore, this would gives us more time to select the best footage, more footage as a backup option, and more time during the postproduction period. Secondly, is that it allows for multiple shot to be taken. It is vital that we are happy with every shot and has appropriate shooting regulations. Therefore, this would mean having each camera angel blocked and set correctly so that it works in correlation with the actors. In addition, during postproduction, this would also give us more variety to choose from when editing the film.
