Re: Crossing the line

I think the the Steven Katz book is great. It will definitely help you understand the technical side of shooting multiple people.

Don't forget, however, to use your frame and angles to help tell the story. Is there tension between these 2 people? Are they intimate? For example, you could frame a pole in the background so it lands right between the characters on the 2 shot to give a sense that the characters are isolated from each other. Maybe you can use tree branches to create a vignette to bring them closer together.

Anyway, don't forget the art in your technical pursuit.

Best of luck!
