Coverage is the set of different shots filmed for the same scene, so that the editor has choices when cutting it.

One click, no account. The demo is filled with sample productions and rebuilt every day.

Coverage in practice

A dialogue scene is often covered with a master shot of the whole action, then medium shots and close-ups of each actor. More coverage gives the editor freedom but costs time on set. Deciding how much coverage a scene needs is one of the main negotiations between the director and the first assistant director.

Where it lives in CrewDesk

Coverage is planned in the shot list attached to the project in CrewDesk; each planned setup can be tracked as a task on the shoot day.
