Cutaways as well as coverage

A good editor can be an excellent companion to filmmakers. In simple terms, the editor's task is to gather every detail taken by the camera in a certain task and make it into a cohesive narrative. But don't be fooled by an unsubstantiated idea! There's a lot more to editing than splicing 'err' clicking-and-dragging clips into a timeline! A skilled editor understands the essence of the narrative's dramatic elements and decides on which segments will be needed for the whole.

Instruction for Video Coverage and Cutaways

Pro-tip Make sure you have your sources (cast crews, crews, equipment and the time spent at the restaurant of your uncle's father-inlaw's cousin's) on your radar when deciding whether or not to shoot "just one more" shot of a particular scene. If you're not able to offer extravagant prices, you do not have to become a complete David Fincher on people.

After you've completed shooting (shoot) day the coverage gives you options for putting together your best film possible, and cutaways can be fast and effective techniques that can help you convey your message visually. The planning for both options will increase the film's production quality and be make it more enjoyable for viewers.

Until next time, friends!
