Fred and Mabel: Scene 2
MCU Cupboard
The cupboard door is shut to start. Mabel’s right hand opens the door and reveals a tin of dressings and a bottle of antiseptic (both of which have been replaced after the W/A) – her right hand takes the bottle, then replaces it and takes tin of dressings – the cupboard door is left open and she moves her hand away.
MS Mabel Looking Pleased with the Pie
As you noted on the master that she rubs her hands on the front of her apron, she can repeat that action. You also noted the way she turned to the oven, and that she left the pie on the table and did not take it with her.
2–s Fred and Mabel at Door
Mabel goes to back door (holding the towel in left hand). The back door is half closed. She hangs the towel on the back. Fred enters from foreground to form a two-shot (Fred’s finger is dressed and he carries the tin with him in his left hand). He hands tin to Mabel – chat – he kisses her and goes out through door.
Summing Up
So, what are you left with at the end? First you have the whole scene played in wide angle, with everything contained in the one shot. Then you have a number of other shots from different angles of various sections of the scene. Because you have ensured that the action during every shot is as near as possible identical to the master wide angle, it will be possible to cut, say, from the master of the 2–s of Fred and Mabel at the sink, to the MCU of the taps, and so on at any one of a number of places. The cuts will then be determined in order that each piece of action may be seen in the final result from the most suitable angle in accordance with the dramatic interpretation of the script, and the resulting material available.
