Multiple Action

Action can be incredibly difficult to control, but don’t fear embracing it.

There’s another kind of complicated scene which draws its ‘busyness’ from action. This happens typically in street shooting when there are several-too-many characters in the same space all doing something, but not the same thing. A full crowd for example, like a mass of people exiting Oxford Street underground station at rush hour, doesn’t work, because they simply fill the frame en masse, with no space between them for any meaningful action to capture.
