Hi guys, I found a video showing how effective film can be using many actors, rather than just cutting all over the place. I appreciate what a C/U can do and want to do more films where the audience itself can see what is happening, rather than telling them what to see. www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4seDVfgwOg |

Yeah, I really appreciate the ensemble. I saw an interesting video on sticking with a wide shot or mid shot instead of always pushing in on close ups. Have enough going on on screen and let the audience look at what they want. Definitely something I'm going to explore.

I know with many short films I don't grow care about some characters as much most likely due to the cutting back and forth of each during a discussion. It could be great if you're going for isolating the two, however the audience never really gets to see how the two characters perceive or react to each other in an ensemble.
Tarkovsky mentioned (From memory) how a long take can show the passage of time happening. So pretty much, cuts interrupt your perceived progress of the scene and you have to restart analyzing the screen once more. It is great for a montage or if the scene needs motion, but if it's on the one location where the pacing isn't fast, it's worth considering if there are more than one actor.
