Scenes with Stationary Action
Chapter 11 describes and storyboards various ways to enhance the cinematic storytelling of a film when a character is not moving about during a scene. Stories often contain scenes in which there is a single character who is stationary for a period of time while on the phone, working at a desk, reading, eating, sleeping, and so on. The techniques discussed include how to go from objective to subjective coverage and vice versa, ways to create point-of-view shots (POVs) and characters’ reaction shots, as well as how to use action to bridge a cut to a different shot size.
