What is it:
The phrasal term 'Follow The Action' is where where the filmmaker follows all the movements that the character is making when they move from location to location. There will normally be more than one camera shooting the action in the various locations. This provides the editor with a range of footage to choose from when the entire sequence is being put together. The editor will switch between camera angels depending what the actor/subject is doing. This effect usually gives more depth to what you are watching instead of just watching one camera action all the way through.The shot variation enables the editor to combine shots to conserve continuity. The audience feel like they are seeing all the action that is happening all at once which makes it more exciting to watch.The different shots could be panning, over the shoulder, close ups, mid shots and establishing shots.
Here are some examples of follow the action shots:
