Photographing with Multiple Cameras

Karl Struss

In Photographing dialogue or talking pictures, there are various methods in use, depending mostly on the type of story being filmed. In this article we will discuss only the method that was used in picturizing “Coquette,” on which four cameras were used for most of the sequences. Previous to the actual photographing, two weeks were spent in rehearsals of all the characters having speaking parts, and at the last rehearsal, the camera positions were determined with the co-operation of the director, Sam Taylor.
