In that workshop, I have learned the filming technique called 'master and coverage technique'.
Essentially a sequence is numerous scenes that were shot at different times and when you edit them together it looks like all of the actions have happened at the same time period.
The technique is all about making a first (master) shot as a wide shot so that from that shot you will be able to choose what are the rest of the shots are going to be (also known as coverage shots). So what you will normally have is the Wide Shot first, then as coverage would go mid-shot, and then as another coverage would go an Extreme Close Up shot. One of the most important things to remember is the fact that all of the scenes have to be filmed from different shots. It is mainly due to the fact that that helps the editor with providing a bigger choice of scenes during the editing process. It is also important to remember all of the composition rules and of course do not forget about 180-degree rule.
To get better at this technique I made my first attempt at it.
