Coverage
Three people in a room
A meeting, a family table, a third person who changes the balance between two.
Treat it as a series of two-person exchanges inside one group. The master keeps everyone placed. Then cover each pair that actually talks to each other with two-shots and singles. Do not shoot every possible pair; the script tells you which ones matter.
Watch out. The line moves with the conversation. Draw it between the two who are talking in that moment, and stay on one side of it.
The 180-degree line. All cameras stay on one side.
Master. All three placed in the room.
Two-shot of the pair that carries the scene.

Clean single on the one who listens and says little.
Inserts: the table, the papers, the cups.
