BLOG QUESTION: COVERAGE

In your own words explain what coverage is. Why is it so important when you are shooting?

Filming scenes from multiple angles, distances, and in many takes is called coverage. It is always a good idea to get wide shots, close-ups, and medium shots because it gives the editor more options to choose from while editing. It's important to have a variety of takes so that the edit turns out smooth and that the story is clearly explained. If you don't have enough takes, your film might not make sense to the audience or it'll feel poorly filmed.
