PROPOSAL (not a 1916 claim): how could an agent shot-list rule and check be built on Sargent's bust rules, and how might they map to present-day close-up and coverage choices?
PROPOSAL, labelled as such. 1916 practice (Sargent): bust for a small action that carries plot meaning, return to the larger scene, insert for inanimate objects, use sparingly. Proposed agent rule: a detail-shot entry must carry the one action, the reason a wide shot would hide it, a pointer back to its wide shot, and a kind (body action versus object). Proposed mapping (hypothesis, untested; no present-day coverage source was read here): Sargent's bust is a tight detail on one action inside the same set, his insert a separate prop or text shot, his return the cut back to the wide view. Sargent gives no numerical density limit; any limit is an experiment parameter.
