This document provides a summary of two case studies - Jimmy Fallon's talk show and the women's marathon final at the 2016 Rio Olympics. For the Jimmy Fallon talk show, 4 cameras were used to capture interactions between Fallon and his guest (Nicole Kidman). Camera shots included medium close-ups of the guest and host. The set was designed to look professional but cozy. Rapid cutting between shots of the host and guest emphasized the conversation. For the women's marathon, 10 ground cameras and 4 drones were used to capture the race from various angles. Commentators provided context to shots of leading participants. Cameras followed participants to make viewers feel present. Health and safety precautions were needed given
