Questions about the Coverage poster

What’s on the Coverage poster?

10 entries in 2 groups. The minimum that makes a scene editable. Shoot every time: A wide master of the whole action, Mid shots of each speaker, Close…; Insurance: Run the master to the end, always, Two takes of anything unrepeatable, Ext…. Cutaways are what rescue an edit: they cover the trims, hide the jump cuts and let you compress time invisibly.

Who is the Coverage poster for?

Coverage belongs to the Communications & Media section rather than to a school year, because humanities is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning production can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the Coverage poster?

The day before the shoot, when the shot list is written. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Coverage belongs on the wall where that humanities work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with Coverage?

Shot Sizes, Recording Levels and The 180-Degree Rule sit alongside Coverage in the Communications & Media section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Shot SizesRecording LevelsThe 180-Degree Rule

Is the Coverage poster free to download and print?

Yes. Coverage downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Communications & Media section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence

What size does the Coverage poster print at?

Coverage is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Coverage loses nothing.Printing guide
