282 PRODUCTION STILLS The author and a production assistant arrange items in the bookcase behind the talent. Backgrounds are important; when poorly selected, they can distract the viewer's attention from the main subject. Sometimes a background can be arranged out of focus, and with proper lighting and composition, it can add an artistic touch to the scene. A reaction shot, used as a cutaway shot, can add drama to a scene. In this case, a worker has just fallen, after using a chair rather than a ladder to try to retrieve a box. A coworker, hearing the fall, walks in and appears startled. The viewer can identify with the startled coworker, and this creates an added level of involvement for the audience of your video.
