Running it, start to finish
- Mark coverage against every line of the script.
- Reorder by setup and check the list fits the time.
- Record a test take and play it back before shooting properly.
What you get back
The output this produces, every time.
- Derives shots from the script so the cutaways the edit needs are not discovered afterwards.
- Orders the list for shooting rather than for narrative, which saves hours of resetting.
- Checks every script passage has something to cut to before the shoot rather than in the edit.
Getting better results
Where this usually goes wrong, and how to avoid it.
- Shoot the safety coverage. A wide, a tight and some ambient per segment cost minutes on the day and are what an editor asks for when they do not exist.
- Play back a test take. Most reshoots are audio, and most of those would have been caught by thirty seconds of playback before the real take.
- Cut from the list, not from the end. A shoot that overruns loses whatever is last, which is usually the cutaways. Decide the cuts in advance.
