Cutaways and coverage

A good editor can be the ideal partner for filmmakers. The basic task is to collate all the details that was captured by camera in the course of completing a job and then put it together into a coherent story. Beware! There's a lot more to editing than splicing 'err' clicking-and-dragging clips into a timeline! A skilled editor comprehends the essence of the narrative's drama and selects which parts will be used to make up the entire.

Instruction for Video Coverage and Cutaways

Pro-tip: Keep your sources (cast crew, crew, gear along with the time you spend at the home of your father-in-law's the brother of your friend's cousin) on your list of priorities when deciding whether or not to make "just one extra" image of that particular scene. Except if you're offering serious expenses, it's not required to go to be David Fincher with the folks.

After shooting (shoot) day, the film's coverage allows you to create the most compelling film you can, and cutting-edge techniques can be simple and powerful ways that will assist in telling the story visually. The planning for both could make your film better as well as make your film more appealing to the viewers.

Until next time, friends!
