Shooting skills of the White House

In the first season, "White House Heroes" won a record of nine Emmy Awards in one fell swoop, which attracted the attention of film groups. There was even a trilogy "Nishinomiya" based on this drama staged at Chance Theatre in California. The high drama quality and artistic achievements make this drama win many awards [2], and the budget of $6 million per episode makes this drama like a small movie [25]. However, most film groups believe that Sorkin's witty dialogue is the real source of talent in this play [26].

The White House Heroes developed a style of "talking while walking". Photographers use long-lens fixed-orbit photography to show the scenes of people talking about state affairs while walking in the White House corridor. The typical way of expression is that the camera follows two characters walking and chatting in the corridor from the front. One of them usually stops suddenly, and the other person joins in and starts to discuss another topic. The style of "talking while walking" can create a sense of movement for pictures telling long dialogues, so this skill will be applied in TV dramas with a lot of dialogues later [27].
