Difference (from prior major revision) (minor diff, author diff)

Changed: 1c1

An insert is a shot of part of a scene as filmed from a different angle and/or focal length from the master shot. Inserts cover action already covered in the master shot, but emphasize a different aspect of that action due to the different framing. An insert is different from a cutaway in that the cutaway is of action not covered in the master shot.

Often inserts of this sort are done separately from the main action, by a second-unit director using stand-ins.
