I have worked on pocket docs where they have gone back to get shots for
me. However in the one situation, the reporter was an ex film cameraman
and understood the process in a way a lot of young people never will.

>> Steve in my limited work with features it is quite common and I'm pretty sure budgeted in the production schedule to do pick ups and reshoots after editing has determined the need for more or different coverage etc... These reshoots happen after the director has worked with the editor so I can't say who is making the call but clearly the editor would have some say in what additional material might be needed. My wife offlines reenactment based crime shows and after the radio cut is done she sits down with the producer and director to tell them the coverage she needs before they begin shooting the reenactments. This has proven to be a more efficient use of production resources. So the editor's input on pick up shoots etc... might not be as rare as you think.
