Film Editing Procedures

Watch the film

1. Project your rushes (The original film out of the camera). You may need to do this more than once.
2. Discus what you shot:
   1. What it looks like.
   2. Whether it matches your original conception.
   3. Whether you need to revise your script.

Find the Shots

1. Set up your rolls, in order on the editing bench.
2. Set up the film on the left side and wind onto the right side.
3. With the viewer identify the beginning and ending frames of each shot.
4. Mark the frames with grease pencil.
5. Cut out the shots you want, label them with paper tape and hang them in a bin.
6. If you are in doubt about a shot use it. You can take it out later.
7. Re-attache the outtakes and rewinds them onto a daylight spool.
8. Label each spool and set aside.
