AGENT CHECK (1916 practice and a proposal): what checklist can an agent run on a scene list and its set grouping using only what Sargent's Chapter XXX states, and how might that map to a present-day shot list or set breakdown?
[1916 practice] Sargent's Chapter XXX supports seven checks: each scene is labelled interior or exterior; each set is listed once with all its scene numbers; close-ups sit under their set as separate numbers; no set exists for a single scene if an existing set would do; interior sets stay within six in the first reel and four more per added reel (advisory); essentials, and only essentials, are flagged in a scene line; a return to an earlier set is written 'Back to N' and a changed set is noted. His own caution: counting shows only that every number is present, not that it sits under the right set. [Proposal, not Sargent] A present-day shot list or set breakdown could be checked the same way by grouping shot or scene ids under sets and testing coverage, single use and state changes; no source in this batch documents present-day practice or AI use.
