Hi guys I few days ago I asked for some help with a wedding scene. Still waiting for that help.
So I am using the EXT.BEACH WEDDING - DAY, in zone 2, zoom reset.
I have 6 characters on scene straight away. Characters are Kate the Celebrant, Danny the Best Man, Mark the Groom, Mr and Mrs Willis and Mrs Henderson. After a few moments I then have 3 more characters enter the scene, MC the Bridesmaid, Tasha the Bride and her father Mr Henderson.
I would like to be able to fit all 9 characters on screen so I can play out the wedding scene of how it is suppose to be. So my questions are; how to spot direct all 9 characters in their correct order, how do I have MC, Tasha and Mr Henderson walk onto scene at the bottom of the screen and are there any cool zooms I can do? Basically I want it to be as realistic as it can be.
Please reply, even if you don’t know but you know of someone who can help, tag them! It shows you have respect!
There has to be someone out there than can help me with spot directing, I know we are all over the globe so we have different time zones but surely there is someone?!!
So in the time I asked for help, I gave it a good old go at it and I have a script here waiting for someone to say yes I will help you so I then can send a PM cause the script is quite long, I don’t think I am achieving what I want out of the scene which is why I need the help.
P.s I can see how many people view it so I know you are reading it, and as I said if you don’t know then maybe someone does that you know.
Oh thank you thank you, at last someone.
Here is the script, its not all of the scene yet…

Well does it look right, it doesn’t look neat and tidy. Oh and I did mean to add before that I was hoping to have the camera zoom in as the bride and father are walking down the aisle, like they are following them so when she arrives at the alter the camera is already on a close up of the bridal party, and slow enough so the camera catches the mother of the bride’s animation. When I did do it the camera was zoomed in on the bride’s bum.
