Our Shot/Reverse Shot Sequence - Megan


Here are some examples of a shot/reverse shot sequence from the BBC drama Prisoner's Wives. The characters here are positioned in the centre of the frame, with the main focus being on the character themselves. The other character is in some cases barely visible, and in others quite prominent but not in focus. 


Our shot/reverse shots look like the first shot seen here:




We have tried to fix this by making the image larger in the screen. Although we can enlarge some of these shots to position the characters better in the frame, there is still a lot of white space surrounding our characters which you don't find in the sequences from Prisoner's wives. For this reason we have decided to refilm these shots so that we can position our characters better in the frame.
