Very Good Post Mr.Roop

Yes it is not only for Camera work, it is also for Editing .
It was shot in MITCHEL Camera One of the best camera on those days .
As an Editor i would like to say ,They always shoot Long shot ,Mid shot, wide,Suggestions of either artists,close ups ,extreme long,extreme close and also steady cam.
Mostly they setup plenty of cameras
to finish easily and for the artists dates and also for an Important Scenes.while arranging plenty of cameras you will get artist acting performances very good than taking each and every shot ,they might miss diaolgues or won't get exact performed in earlier shots, so this is always better having plenty of cameras but it is very costly .So often they shoot important scenes like this ,and also for an editor the cuts will be smooth and the editor will cut easily
