This helps to establish a relationship between the talents. l  Framing  multiple  talents  with  two  cameras. When   you   frame   multiple   talents   using   two cameras, keep the cameras on the same side of the “action axis” shown in figure 14-40. This will prevent  the  reversal  of  screen  direction  in  the picture. Use high and low camera angles with caution. High angles tend to foreshorten legs, while low angles may distort the body and face. Additionally, be aware of set areas  or  props  that  seem  to  be  growing  out  of,  or balanced on, a talent’s head (fig. 14-41). Figure  14-41.—Improperly  placed  prop  and  set  area. AREA OF TALENT INCLUDED The majority of your television pictures will be of people. Accordingly, it is convenient to identify people shots in terms of the portion of the body to be included in the frame. To help you recognize image size and to frame your talent effectively, you should use the cutoff line system (fig. 14-42). Cutoff lines are natural dividing lines that will help you produce aesthetically pleasing shots. Use the cutoff lines in the same manner as the six shot classifications previously covered. NUMBER OF TALENTS INCLUDED The  shot  designations  that  are  easiest  for  you  to remember are the ones that refer to the number of people to be included in the picture. When you shoot only one talent, it is termed a  one-shot,  two talents is a  two-shot, three is a three-shot, and so forth. However, when five Figure  14-40.—Framing  multiple  talents  with  two  cameras. 14-32
