The Importance of coverage and cut aways

There is a lot of importance in coverage when shooting a scene, the idea of scene coverage is to note down how the scene is forming from a amount of camera shots which include many types of shots including long shots so watch the characters in the certain scene, close up shots to show the characters feelings and over the shoulder shots while the characters speak. it basically means to check through the number of shots to ensure everything is ok and there are no continuity errors.

Cut aways are when they are shooting scenes, then they cut to another location, then after talking about what just happened n the cut away scene, like a flashback or a memory.
