Coverage

In your own words explain what coverage is.  Why is it so important when you are shooting?

    Coverage is all the different angles and shots in your scene. With coverage you can really add the emotion you want to have in the scene with the different shots and angles, by using different types of coverage it can add to the comedy or action and by using less coverage it can add to the dramatization and heaviness of your scene. This is important when shooting because it gives you more to work with in post production as well as helps you get the emotion you want in your project.
