18-1 - 18-5

18-1
Coverage means more than just recorded the production.  Good coverage requires:
1. Repetition
2. Overlap
3. Variety and Protection
4. Cutaways - shots that show information other than the main action

18-2
Good continuity within a program/video production "appears to be a single continous presentation that has no mismatches in information, action, or screen direction" (Stinson 345).

18-3
Three styles of coverage: 
1. Repition
2. Overlap
3. Variety and Protection - varying angles helps make invisible edits and tends to hide small mismatches between different takes.

18-4
Three types of screen direction.
1. Look
2. Movement
3. Convention - how the screen is displayed, for example a car traveling from New York to California is going from left to right on a map, therefore it is displayed that way on the screen. 

18-5
Action line is an imaginary line seperating camera and subject.  Keeping the camera on its side of the line maintains screen direction.
