Coverage Is When A Given Action Is Shot From Different Angles and Perspectives

Coverage involves shooting a scene from different angles and perspectives to give the editor flexibility and protect against errors. The master scene approach shoots each scene with a wide shot and closer angles to provide flexibility, while the angle-by-angle approach with less coverage requires careful continuity but may require reshoots if errors occur. Overlapping action between shots facilitates seamless editing.

COVERAGE

Coverage is when a given action is shot from different angles and perspectives.
Adequate shot coverage gives the editor flexibility when constructing scenes. It
also provides protection against continuity and performance problems.

Adequate shot coverage provides:


flexibility in editing
protection against shooting errors

Master Scene Approach


Most professional feature films use the master scene approach. This involves
shooting each scene in its entirety from a wide master shot and several closer
angles. It also includes shooting appropriate inserts and cutaways.
Insert - An insert is a shot of some element withinthe frame used for emphasis or
clarification.
Cutaway - A cutaway is a shot of an elementoutside the frame. Cutaways can
detract from the flow of action and should only be used they are directly relevant
to the scene.
Angle by Angle Approach
Low budget productions often cannot afford the master scene approach and opt
for less coverage. The scene is broken into segments and shot from a few
carefully selected angles.
This approach is acceptable but continuity must by handled with great care. If an
error should occur, there are no alternate takes available. This may require costly
reshooting to fix.
Needless to say, there is a bare minimum of coverage that is required for each
scene to be edited properly. Shooting less than this is reckless and may cost
more in the long run should a problem arise.
Overlapping Action
To facilitate editing, the director must provide sufficient an overlap in action from
one camera setup to the next. This allows the editor to pick proper cutting points.
Overlaps are particularly important when cuts must be precisely matched to
create a seamless flow of action.
For example, when a character exits a room in one shot and enters a room in the
next shot, the director must provide acomplete exit and entrance in the
respective shots. This allows the editor to choose the optimal cutting points in the
outgoing and incoming shots. The director should never attempt to cut in the
camera.

ACOPERIREA

Acoperirea reprezint procedeul prin care o anumit aciune


este filmat din unghiuri i perspective diferite.
O acoperire adecvat a filmrii cadrului ofer flexibilitate editorului la construcia
scenei. Acesta prevede, de asemenea, o protecie mpotriva problemelor de
continuitate i performan.

O acoperire adecvat implic:


- flexibilitate n editare

Abordarea Scenei Master-Scenei Principale


Cele mai multe filme de lung metraj profesionale folosesc abordarea scena de
master. Acest lucru presupune fotografierea fiecare scen n ntregime dintr-o
lovitur maestru larg i mai multe unghiuri mai apropiate. Aceasta include, de
asemenea, fotografierea inserturi i cutaways corespunztoare.
Insertul - O inserie este o lovitur de un element withinthe cadru utilizat pentru
accentuare sau clarificare.
Cutaway - Un secionat este o lovitur a unui elementoutside cadru. Cutaways
poate afecta fluxul de aciune i ar trebui s fie utilizate numai acestea sunt
relevante n mod direct la faa locului.
Unghiul de abordare
producii cu buget redus de multe ori nu i pot permite abordarea scena de
master i de a opta pentru o acoperire mai putin. Scena este rupt n segmente
i a trimis un balon de la cteva unghiuri atent selectate.
Aceast abordare este acceptabil, dar continuitate trebuie manipulate de ctre
cu mare grij. n cazul n care ar trebui s apar o eroare, nu exist nici o
alternativ ia disponibil. Acest lucru poate necesita reshooting costisitoare
pentru a remedia problema.
Inutil s mai spunem, exist un volum minim de acoperire, care este necesar
pentru fiecare scen pentru a fi editat n mod corespunztor. Fotografiere mai
puin dect acest lucru este imprudent i poate costa mai mult pe termen lung, ar
trebui s apar o problem.
Aciunea suprapunerilor
Pentru a facilita editarea, directorul trebuie s ofere suficient o suprapunere de
aciune de la o setare a aparatului foto la alta. Acest lucru permite editorului
pentru a alege puncte de tiere adecvate. Suprapunerilor sunt deosebit de
importante atunci cnd reducerile trebuie s se potriveasc cu precizie pentru a
crea un flux continuu de aciune.
De exemplu, atunci cnd un personaj iese o camer ntr-o singur lovitur i intr
ntr-o camer n mpucat urmtoare, directorul trebuie s furnizeze acomplete
de ieire i de intrare n fotografii respective. Acest lucru permite editorului s
aleag punctele optime de tiere n focurile de arm de ieire i de intrare.
Regizorul nu trebuie s ncerce s taie n aparatul de fotografiat.
