Fancy words for down to earth filmmakers

Proscenium approach to shooting is fancy, schmancy wordage for filming as if it was a play and the camera is the audience. The actors are within the context of a large wide frame or proscenium arch as in the theatre.
In the early days, filmmakers began to realize the limitations of the proscenium approach and invented new techniques of separating into shots and sequences. ( pro·sce·ni·um)
