Coverage:

Robin and I talked about coverage on Thursday, and the advice I was given and that I agree with is to film with as little cuts as possible, because its really a piece where the hard work is done with the actors, by having too many cuts the continuity and the rhythm of the scene may potentially get broken. So the plan is to have one camera covering the scene, following the actors as they perform the scene in one take, and to have another camera getting the ‘interesting shots’ either close ups, or different angles etc……..

So when writing my coverage into the script, I have only written in maybe 2-3 actual shots, all of which go for a significant amount of time. This form of coverage suits the pace of my script, it is quite slow and rather patient, it emphasises the characters interactions, a whole of heap of cuts would make the film appear quick paced and rather disjointed.
