Rough Cut
Edit Decision List
Editors Log
When preparing to edit, i first created bins to sort and categorize my raw footage into. Bins are used by editors to help them keep all the footage in order. I created a total of 3 bins. The first bin i created were for all of the shots that were filmed outside on the streets. The second bin i created was for everything that was shot in or around the train station. The final bin included all the footage that were shot inside the house.After creating the bins, i went on to rename all of my shots according to the type of shots they were, before placing them in their designated bins.For example, a medium shot of someone in the train station, would be called "Train station medium shot (MS)" and would go into the "Train Station" Bin. I also logged the shots as "good" or "bad" takes. Logging the shots as "good" or "bad" helped me as an editor, to narrow down the shots that were appropriate to use. After logging the footage, i exported an Edit decision list (EDL).
An Edit Decision List helps to keep the Editor's footage in order. The list contains all of the shots that the editor is going to use for their production. To an editor, It is an easier way of sorting footage and allowing them to decide which footage will be useful and which won't. The editor might choose to get rid of certain shots. This might be because he or she feels as if the shot does not fit in with the production. It could also be because a mistake has been made in a certain shot. For example an actor could be standing in the wrong position. An edit decision list also helps to keep the footage together as it is passed down through post-production.
