Question 3

We shoot to edit because:

1. In using multiple angles and shots, we are afforded a wider selection of choices during the editing process. We are able to change things around when there are lots of shots to choose from and it just makes the editing process much easier. While on the shoot, if we methodically gather many different shots and angles, we have a better chance of finding the right flow to the piece.

2. We gather these multiple angles one at a time. Just because the storyboard calls for and angle change, it doesn’t mean we have to begin filming from a different angle. The entire sequence can be shot from one angle before changing, then it’s cut up and edited accordingly afterwards. This saves a lot of time and energy.
