Thanks David and Richard. And yes, it involves audience engagement. It's more like a workshop type, but the leader of these workshops would like to get the edited "meat" of the whole thing. So that's why I thought that only one camera is not going to be enough. And yes, one angle could be an option if it's really engaging, I agree, but I've watched some where I thought that it was about the time to change the scenery :) Or I guess I could just film over the audience while they're preparing for the workshop or after it, or during Q&A part. Just brainstorming on the go :)
