The document provides instructions for several tasks related to editing moving image material for a promotional college video. The tasks include creating a rushes log to select suitable clips, annotating a script, creating an edit decision list, clarifying the purpose with the client, and preparing to edit by importing clips and setting up the timeline, bins, and file structure. Over 100 raw video clips were logged with descriptions of the camera shots and decisions on whether to include them in the final video. The document outlines the level of detail and organization required to meet professional standards for each task.

Task 1: Rushes Log
This task will help you decide which clips will be most suitable to meet the clients
brief. Rushes logs will show a full appreciation of the possibilities and limitations of
shots. All paperwork will be clear and organised to a near-professional
standard.
You must check each rush and offer a description of the action in each clip. In your
description you MUST use camera specific terminology to describe the shot. You
must then decide whether this clip could be used in the final construction and give a
reason as to why you have made that decision.
Evidence will be the completed table.
