Shooting eating

I'm lazy when it comes to shooting this perfunctory stuff, just shooting coverage and sort of hoping it will cut together. But when shooting Ben eating I realized that you have to think about what's filling the frame, not only about the mundane content. In other words, if you're showing a plate that fills the screen, you have to treat it like an important activity. When something is that big, you've got the equivalent of an action scene with forks and knives and you have to know how it's going to cut.
