I have another scene I need to shoot and am puzzling over where to put the cameras.
The scene involves two actors doing their scene, then at intervals, the diretor, standing just off camera, calls cut and enters the scene from below.
Here's a diagram.
Male Actor Female Actor
----------------------------------------- everything below is off camera.
Director
When the director enters the frame, I want to put the camera north of the male and female actors so I can see his face when he's approaching. But this worries me because each time he enters I have to cross the axis line and then cross back when he leaves. If I decide not to put the camera there, I don't get great coverage on his face, but I don't have to worry about crossing the axis line.
Any advice?
