Cutaways & out takes...

Does anyone know how you slate cutaways or 'out-takes' ?
In particular I was wondering how it's chalked up on the slate.

It's hardly a take, but is likely to be part of the scene... somewhere?!

Another purpose for a tail slate is that if your doing separate sound and you have a drift issue with your recorder on longer takes, the tail slate will allow you to match up the sound length on the timeline by stretching or compressing it to match the initial and tail clapper sticks.

The wacky angle is because of the genre - this episode's an Ood-dunnit.

Aaaaargh... (FX:exterminated)

Ouch!, yea must 'ave been 'itting the Whisky! I see I'm not the only one working late on a edit then! (ironically, on part of a corporate documentary that I filmed in Scotland only last week!).

Cheers!

If by "cutaway" you mean something like an insert shot, those should be slated as part of the same scene. Any clip is a "take", regardless of whether actors are in it or not. Certainly this may be shot MOS, or with "series" written in instead of take numbers so that you can repeat a given action (i.e. closeup of hand opening door, or picking up gun etc) while the camera rolls, giving you multiple takes within one slated setup.

Not sure what a planned out-take would be--perhaps something like suddenly spotting a beautiful sunset or gaggle of geese flying overhead and grabbing that shot? A script supervisor would assign a non-sequential scene number (perhaps with an "X") for the slate and make the appropriate notes in the script so that this snippet is not overlooked in the edit, yet it will also not be assigned to the scene in progress.

No Charles, you have answered my question perfectly. I meant 'insert' shot but gave the wrong terminology. Thank you for your reply, it was much appreciated.

I didn't realise you placed take numbers in sequence on insert shots too as part of a scene. Those take numbers must really add up, especially if you're doing different angle-shots, or framed-shots within the same scene.

I thought you might identify them specially since they would mostly be shot MOS.
I wonder would it not make more sense to slate an establishing (master) shot take as 1A, 2A, 3A, etc. Then a CU of say the first actor coverage as 1B, 2B, 3B, etc; CU coverage of the second actor as 1C, 2C, and so on... ?

I can see myself, "Right, Scene 4, take 742 - CU on hand move to grab keys..." (!!!)
