LOGGING FOOTAGE

                                                                        The logging process was completed over a period of two days. Unofrtunately this took longer than expected because around 50% of the shots were not marked with a clapperboard, which would've allowed me quickly type out the scene number, shot and take.

This was particularly frustrating as I specifically told the director and cinematographer to mark each and every shot, apart from the cutaways which were marked with a simple audio "Cutaway. This meant I had to look through the shot-list document and find which shot linked to the footage on-screen. In some cases, a take wasn't in the shot-list so I had to make a calculated guess as to what was happening.

The majority of shots were marked in the format of "SCENE, SHOT, TAKE, SHOT DESCRIPTION", and then organised into BINS. This will give me a clean and simple palette to work with whilst editing.

The following BINS were created:

• SCENE BINS

• EXT. CUTAWAY BIN

• INT. CUTAWAY BIN

• NG BIN (Footage that is "no good")

• SOUND BINS

After I had finished logging the footage, our sound designer Joel transferred all of his dialogue/atmos tracks onto my external HDD. I then imported the files onto FCP7 and created a separate 'BIN' for each scene.
