Master shots are not sexy or glamorous, but they can become a lifeboat for a movie director when it becomes clear in post-production a camera move just did not work. On an indie film budget it is important for a movie director to cover all the scenes as much as possible. Indie filmmakers that cover a scene one way reduce their options. Do not ever shy away from shooting a “wonder shot”, but balance it with a master shot to cover your rear in post-production. This is indie filmmaker Sid Kali typing JUMP CUT. http://ping.fm/Vc6EF
