And how does one tell a story?
Beginning with an establishing shot.
When the lighting is high
And the objects are close up
When the shots are many
So you go back and cut
How does one tell a story?
When the microphone picks up
Your voice and carries it through the scene
Fade in and flop
transition to another purposeful shot
Transition to another voice and character
Have them argue
Learn their impulses, needs, and reservations
“What motivates you to carry on the way you do?”
Blank hesitations.
And so you pull back the camera and wonder
Where’s the story.
