A close detail shot cut in to highlight something specific.
An insert is a close-up of a detail — a hand, a phone screen, a clock — cut into a scene to draw attention or add information. Like cutaways, inserts also help hide edits in the main footage. They add texture and clarity.
Coverage is the raw material of editing, and understanding every shot type in the toolkit is how editors turn a pile of footage into a coherent, emotionally driven story.
B-roll is the footage that makes your edit breathe — but only when you know exactly when to reach for it and when to put it away.
