Never ran into this before and thought I'd give this message board a try with a simple craft question.
I want to camera (shot) stream or better yet convey a "streaming jump shot" from one location to another maybe even in fast forward continuous motion only consisting of a couple blocks on action OFF a finger point from a narrator character who we also periodically see.
Would this be better as an action element or is it too risky putting it in as a transition called "streaming jump shot" with to and from locations or maybe just calling it a "streaming jump shot" giving locations to and from in the scene heading.
This might sound weird having a narrator on camera but this becomes important due to paralleling a mini story with the "Big Picture" story in different era's and the main story sparks from the eyes of the narrator due to simple happenstance and timing causing recollection. Yet the main story really has nothing to do with the narrator other than a second hand telling. That's why this jump shot is so important even though it actually occurs in same era. Where the jump shot ends is revisited a few times in different era's throughout the movie.
It's a based on true story spec. script for the Nicholls. Oddly or luckily enough it is not an adaptation though.
Enough Rambling.
Feedback would be appreciated from those who have ran across such craft questions or similar craft questions.
