I began this day by logging into the Nexis and creating my own project area for my edit within Avid. I then opened up the footage from our studio shoots which consisted of Day 1 Rushes, Day 2 Rushes, Day 1 Zoom Audio, Day 2 Zoom Audio and Tascam Audio. I duplicated all of this into my own Bins in my project space in Avid from the Nexis:
I then decided that before I could start editing this I would need to review it to figure out which takes and shots were which and also which ones were worth using. To do this I decided to create 3 more bins. One labelled Best Shots, one called Possible Shots and one called Bad Shots. This is so I could watch all the clips and the duplicate them and choose which Bin to put them in depending on which I would defiantly use, which ones I might use and which ones I defiantly won't use. It also gave me a chance while reviewing to mark an In and Out point on the clip of the segments with in it that I thought would be most useful to me or that I liked the most:
This took me a very long time to arrange as we had captured so much footage. I spent the day doing this but eventually got it finished. Then to help me stay slightly more organised ready for the next editing session I went through my shot list from the shoot days and wrote next to each one which clip was the best from each shot and what I liked that happened in that clip. Here is my messy but useful notes I took (the ones in the blue pen):
I would have liked to start editing today but I had run out of time due to the large quantity of files and footage I had to go through. However by doing this I am now in a really good position to start making an effective rough edit next week and then perfect it the week after before the deadline.
