DAY2 Scene 13 . At first I thought the Transmitter was buried to deep to do our scene without heaps of coverage & reverses angles .

               We then devised a ONER as they say a bit like TV shooting ,,, We see a wide shot of something covered up , we move in and as we get close a hand comes in from left of screen and pulls the dusty blanket down as we track back FAST to hold the guy talking to someone close to camera left ,,, That person then dives into frame left and looks back at the guy and says his lines  ( both lines delivered to camera ) They then embrace in profile in front of camera ,,,,,,,, It worked just , it needed a few more takes to get perfect  but as usual there is pressure for us to move on ,,, So no CU  coverage , We have done our First Oner .. It is so tempting just to do one CU so you can use bits of different takes ,,,,,,, But I figure If we want it perfect we would be shooting the FILM not the trailer , and to drop a scene out of the trailer just to fine tune a setup is counter productive for project  
 The Lighting was 2 soft backlight ( through 4x4 frame ) keys to appear to come from a window on each side of the wide frame
