Zooming in, or cropping the image, is a pretty big no no in dv filmmaking, because cutting even a bit makes dv look like shit. With High Definition you can zoom a bunch, but this isn't quite the future yet. If we were to play the cropped video on a big screen, you'd notice it right away. Or see Dev introducing my Jersey disaster in the Crash doc -- he looks like a big scottish blur.

Luckily this is a 480 x 360 web video, so a bit of cropping isn't gonna be noticeable. Which is good, because to simulate multiple cameras, it's time for Crop City.

The main one is the 3-shot of Brolo, Keith & Chemda. Most of the video uses that one, because it looks weird to zoom out to full frame once Brolo shows up. It seems out of balance, having that extra space. And then when Soccergirl arrives, she hasn't got much to say, and it seems out of balance, having that extra space. So the 3 shot rules the day.

Then there are also close ups of the various duos, as seen below.
