My method #3

I already discussed the simple and common way to film a dialogue between two people, but I also want know some creative way compare with the first one.

I rally like watch the film directed by Wong Kar-wai. He has a very symbolic style. Such as the big passion of handheld shot, the usage of canted level and some jump cuts. He also has his own way to film dialogue. For example, the scene of Chungking Express is a man talking with the shopper. Wong Kar-Wai just uses one single handheld long shot to complete it. The camera mainly follows with the movement of the shopper. Using the handheld shot to film it can show the so-called lifestyle of it. Also, trough the movements of that two character, viewers are able to see the frame change. It is same with what Robin said after we done the exercise of train, why we cannot use character movements to instead of the frequent cut? It is really different and interesting way!
