Here is a wonderful cinematic video essay from the YouTube channel Each frame a paintingand this focuses on the sustained Two-Shot. For those aspiring to become filmmakers, there are a few things to learn here.
The video is accompanied by the following note: “What do you do when you have two actors, a bunch of dialogue, and only time to get a camera angle? Consider one of the oldest tools in the filmmaking toolbox: the sustained two-take.”
The film essay channel is launching a limited series that will explore the history, strengths and weaknesses of sustained two-take filming, a cinematic perspective in which two characters remain in the same scene for an extended period of time.
Enjoy the video!
