Master Shot Sequence
The MASTER SHOT SEQUENCE is a technique used in filming that guarantees an editor the most coverage possible in a scene. The process involves shooting an entire scene multiple times from different angles and then choosing which takes best show the emotion of the characters in the final edit. The actors must give a similar and consistent performance at each camera angle if the cutting is to match from shot to shot. This technique was a favorite used in the Classic Hollywood style of shooting.
The cinematographer would setup each of the following shots and run the entire scene at each camera position. The basic shot sequence was as follows:
- Establishing Shot or Master Shot (named because this wide shot could always be relied on to cover any issues in matching in tighter shots.
- 2 shot waist shot
- Over the Shoulder- Shot/Reverse Shot - EXTERIOR ANGLES-
- Close Up- Shot/Reverse Shot- INTERIOR ANGLES
