reels.

i believe a director or dp has a few options for good shots for their reel. first, if there is a take from any film you have done previously, then it can be used. this may be a funny scene. nice composition, it may be special to you for some reason, or it just may be a shot that you enjoy seeing. besides shots already done, there may be some shots that are floating around in your head that do not specifically belong or fit in to a film. these can be shot for the hell of shooting them, and they are great in a reel because so much time and energy will be put into that one shot, instead of that shot being lost in the shuffle of all the takes done for a movie. i have two ideas for shots for my reel, both are individual shots that i just want to take. i also have some good ideas about movement, but may be limited by equipment. how about a camera on a bike?
