3 Isn't a Crowd, but You Can Make It Look Like It Is with These Cinematography Tricks

 

After reading this article and understanding more how the big shots make a crowd scene really makes it look a lot easier to have that money shot. Now knowing how to do this kind of editing I am very excited to do them myself. Within this article I shows three ways on how to make it look like there are many different people in the shot, making a crowd. the first way is to have about five people standing in the background with you main focus  standing out closer to the camera. now just focus on the main subject and make to shot tight around the main focus and there you are you have a crowd with out having a crowd. This method seems to be the best and easiest way to make a crowd without having many people actually being there.
