    The grammar of the show

    One show, every angle

    A runway show lasts ten minutes. Covering it properly means deciding, in advance, everything the audience might want to see: the full silhouette, the fabric up close, the room, the light, the exits. Each camera position answers one of those questions.

    INDIGITAL designs the camera plan around the collection and the venue: locked masters for the record, moving cameras for the energy, close optics for the craft. The following pages break down each angle, what it captures, and when we deploy it.

    Main · Full Look · Operated
    • The master view: the full runway, the set and the light, held from first look to finale.
