From the week 4 lecture describe at least two reasons why we ‘shoot to edit’?

We ‘shoot to edit’ so that scenes can be shot out of order and in a methodical way. For example, this may mean shooting all your exterior shots and then all your interior shots. This also allows efficiency as priority shots, due to time or location restraints, can be done first.

Secondly, by ‘shooting to edit’ we shoot a range of takes. This certifies that when we get to the editing stage there is a variety of material to make a desired decision. More footage means more options; therefore we have to be mindful when shooting to do such things as roll the camera a few seconds at the start and end of the shot.
