>https://youtu.be/PMG6uE3jfvQThis is a floor plan my proff did to show the shots. In the scene no matter the shots:
>Freeman always frame left, looking right>Pit is always frame right looking left>Lee Ermey is always frame right looking left at Morgan and right at Pitt, He does jump to the left side of the frame in one shot but maintains these eyelines. You would think this would be easy not to screw up but you'd be surprised how long it takes to wrap your head around this stuff and build a competent floor plan and shoot it.
