THE WALK AND TALK SHOT
We all know the walk and talk. It has become a staple of film and TV, and the butt of a plethora of jokes. But what is it about the walk and talk that filmmakers love so much? And what makes a good walk and talk good? We’ll answer all those questions and more in this video.
WALK AND TALK METHODS
Walk and talk shots can vary in style. Shot size can range from wide shots, capturing the characters and their surroundings, to medium shots that focus more on the characters while still providing some context, and close-ups that highlight facial expressions and emotions.
Camera angle is another crucial aspect; low angles can create a sense of power or urgency, while high angles may imply vulnerability or insignificance. Camera movement adds fluidity and can follow the characters, move with them smoothly, or provide a handheld, shaky effect for more intensity.
WALK & TALK BLOCKING
Effective blocking and staging are crucial for successful walk and talk scenes. Blocking involves planning where actors will move and interact within the space, ensuring their actions appear natural and purposeful.
In walk and talk shots, the camera often moves with the actors, requiring precise coordination to maintain focus and composition. This synchronization between actors' movements and camera work is crucial for maintaining the scene's rhythm and ensuring the dialogue flows seamlessly. But the camera can also be stationary, adding an entirely different feel to the scene.
WHY USE A WALK AND TALK
Walk and talks serve many purposes. They add dynamism to exposition, making otherwise dramatically static scenes more engaging. They also convey urgency, as characters often discuss pressing matters while moving through spaces.
Walk and talks also immerse the audience in the environment, providing context and background information organically. They can create a continuous sense of movement and progression in the story, keeping viewers engaged and invested in the characters’ journey. It’s no wonder why filmmakers return to the technique again and again.
