This document contains a rushes log for a film project with decisions made about various video clips. Clips were taken on mobile phones and with cameras of cast members on location. Clips were evaluated for focus, content that advanced the story, and technical quality of the footage. Some clips were selected to show the friendship between two characters, the worry and guilt of a character, and a fight scene central to the storyline. Other clips were rejected for being unfocused, unnecessary duplications, or poor technical quality.
