Uppföljningsskott

Uppföljningsskott refers to a follow-up shot in filmmaking and video production. It is a subsequent shot filmed after the initial principal photography has been completed. These shots are typically added to address issues discovered during the editing process, such as a scene that feels incomplete, a missing reaction shot, or a need for additional coverage.

The purpose of uppföljningsskott is to enhance the final product without requiring a full reshoot. This can include inserting close-ups of actors' faces to convey emotion, capturing establishing shots to provide context, or filming transitional sequences. Sometimes, it involves reshooting specific lines of dialogue if they were not captured clearly or if the performance needs to be adjusted.

Uppföljningsskott are often filmed with a smaller crew and on a more limited budget compared to the main production. This makes them a practical solution for filmmakers to refine their work and improve the narrative flow or pacing of a film or video. The decision to undertake uppföljningsskott is usually made by the director and editor, who have a clear understanding of what is needed to achieve the desired artistic outcome. It is a common practice in the post-production phase to ensure the best possible final edit.
