But 'Always open a scene with a wide shot. Your audience needs to know what room we're in.'
Didn't sound all that wrong to me. If it is an aerial shot for example.
But beginning with a detail shot could be more classy/ artistic I guess.
And could show directly what it is about but that depends on the subject.
If it is about the 'vast nothingness of space' then it is going to be a very wide shot.
Great stuff. "Uploading 2 TB for apparently urgent meeting in the morning." I have been asked to do that before by a client who was adamant that he needed to see "camera originals." When meeting time came around he was happy with .png screen grabs.
