Get the coverage before the location is gone.
Storeyz for Film Students
Student films fail in the same predictable places: no master, no room tone, crossed eyelines, and a schedule that ran out before the coverage did. All of those are list problems.
What goes wrong
- You run out of time and the coverage is what gets cut.
- You get to the edit and the scene will not cut because there is no master.
- Nobody recorded room tone anywhere.
- The location was available for one afternoon and it is gone.
What Storeyz does about it
Coverage patterns built in
Master, two-shot, over-the-shoulders, singles, close-ups. See at a glance whether the scene is safe.
Non-negotiables flagged
Mark the shots the scene cannot be cut without, so when time runs out you protect the right ones.
Shoot order for a one-day location
Group by setup so an afternoon of access gets used properly.
Start planning your next shoot
Storeyz keeps your shots in story order for planning and regroups them by location for the day — then you tick them off on your phone as you get them.
