This doesn’t just mean how you want the film to ultimately look, but what exactly you need to film in production to create the stellar storytelling visuals that edit seamlessly together. The last thing you want as a filmmaker is to be forced to compromise your visual story because you didn’t get that one shot you needed. Yet this is incredibly common and one of the reasons for reshoots, delays in a film’s release, less than stellar edited scene construction, and ultimately going over budget in post.  Having a full understanding of shot coverage and what constitutes the bare visual minimum, as well as what will take your scenes from basic to unforgettable, is essential to making a compelling movie. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eNo matter what project you’re working on, shot coverage is a vital aspect of making your project. \u003c\/em\u003eAs you start producing more involved and complex shoots, coverage needs to be a lot more intricate — and planned. If your film or television series contains more than just basic dialogue scenes—if you are working with action scenes, non-verbal scenes, or scenes with a lot of characters—forming your visual plan becomes a lot more challenging and even more important. Not only must you ensure you’re getting the footage you need, but you also need to employ visual diversity so your vision can stand out. This is no easy feat,  but mastering advanced coverage will improve your relationships with your editors and actors, make post-production a smooth experience, and boost your skill and reputation as a filmmaker. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBrenda Wachel is an accomplished and sought-after script supervisor with over 30 years of experience and credits on some of the biggest films of all time, including JURASSIC PARK  3, OCTOBER SKY, BRIGHT, COLLATERAL, FURIOUS 7, and CAPTAIN AMERICA:  THE FIRST AVENGER. She has worked with countless directors like Paul Haggis, Joe  Johnston, Michael Mann, David Ayer, Tim Robbins, and Terry Gilliam and continues to serve as script supervisor for projects like Amazon’s just released Jennifer Lopez’s THIS IS ME  … NOW: A LOVE STORY, and Apple TV’s upcoming historical drama CHIEF OF WAR.  \u003cem\u003eBrenda has overseen shot coverage on countless films and television shows and knows how this process can save or destroy a project - and she's going to help teach you exclusively through Stage 32. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIn this intensive two-part class Brenda will dive into the intricacies and strategies of shot coverage and give you a series of tools and strategies you can use to best shoot and cover your project, no matter how involved it may be. Brenda will review strategies for shooting basic scenes like standard dialogue scenes and interior car scenes and will dig into how to capture complex scenes like action sequences, non-verbal scenes, and transitions. Brenda will also go through how to put together an effective shot list ahead of time and will teach you how to pivot and adapt in the moment as plans change on set. She will then dive into what you can do to expand beyond basic coverage,  like employing visual diversity, having multiple masters, and the power of the insert.  Brenda’s lessons will be accompanied by live demonstrations and exercises, including reverse engineering shot lists of notable film scenes and creating shot lists from a scripted scene. Brenda’s deep dive and nuts-and-bolts approach to shot coverage will leave you with a thorough understanding of how to best get the footage you need for your next project and work effectively with your team while doing so.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePLUS!
