A derivation of âonerâ - a term that describes the coverage of an entire scene with one shot or take.
A âDeufemia Onerâ describes a shot that covers an entire scene in one shot or take, plus one piece of extra coverage after the camera has cut.
Coined for Canadian tv and film director Marco Deufemiaâs use of the phrase âoner plus coverageâ.
A oner plus coverage is not a oner. Itâs a Deufemia Oner.
âOkay, so weâll get this with a Deufemia Oner. Starting wide on the dolly track, and push into the close up. That will cover off the scene. Then weâll quickly grab that other piece of dialogue. And maybe an insert.â
