oner

It used to be that a “one shot,” or “oner,” was only associated with movies.

Indeed, though the oner is frequently associated with a fast pace, it also can slow things down, making it hard for audiences to look away.

Moorhead and directing partner Justin Benson filmed three episodes of the action drama’s first season, including the premiere episode, which features a oner of a fight scene down a narrow hallway.

He says it’s “not exactly harder” to film a oner; “it’s just a very different skill set.”

“Almost every time we’ve ever tried a oner it succeeds,” Moorhead says, adding, “The thing that’s the most challenging about it is you have to commit to everything.”
