Importance of Cutaways and Coverage

A cutaway is when a person is listening to someone speak and the camera cuts to the listener to see their reaction, this is important because with out the listener making noise, not seeing their actions would leave us totaly lost as to what was going on.

Coverage is how much footage has been captured when filming a scene, the more coverage, the more material the editor has to use to get a better final peice.
