Hello!
I'm sorry if this is a really really stupid question, but I'm preparing to make our first film, and I have questions I'm not quite sure of the answers to.
We only have access to a single camera, and have to use the microphone on the camera.
If we want to take a single scene from two different angles, how do you do it with just one camera?
For example, if it was a conversation with two people in a park and I wanted close ups of both peoples faces, how would I do it with one camera? Do I shoot the entire scene with one persons face, shoot the entire scene with the others, and edit it on computer afterwards? Aren't there going to be major discrepencies in the background noise when it cuts views, for example if a car drives past in one of them and not in the second?
I'm just majorly confused! Thank you for listening!
