Inclusion rule. All 24 board tools on the register; a tool whose pages pass over this field reads as silent. Order. Alphabetical by tool name.

1What this field covers

This field records where the camera angle is decided. 7 tools set it on the panel with a control, 7 have it written into the shot's own text, 3 apply named camera moves, 2 read the angle from the script without a separate control, and one moves a 3D camera around a finished frame. 4 are silent.

The difference matters most when a single shot needs a new angle. A control on the panel changes that frame; a written angle changes when the text is edited and the panel redrawn; an angle read from the script changes only when the script does.
