Talk:Pick-up (filmmaking)

Planning to take out the "News reporting" section
It is clear that whomever inserted that does not understand the point of pick-up shots or reshoots. Reaction shots are something planned for in advance.

Pick-up shots or reshoots by definition are contingency situations. They are an anticipated risk, in the same way that one anticipates the risk of car accidents or plane crashes, but by definition are not planned for. After all, if such issues had shown up during pre-production planning, the production team would have fixed them well before principal photography began. --Coolcaesar (talk) 18:36, 2 September 2017 (UTC)
