Single take or montage for H3 video?

Answer

Choose a single take for spatial and subject continuity. Choose a montage when the story requires multiple locations, time jumps, or distinct visual beats.

Try this sequence
  1. Ask whether the camera can physically witness every event.
  2. If yes, define one continuous path.
  3. If no, divide the story into timed shots.
