This document contains scans of the group's edit decision list and video log sheets which they used to organize the filming and editing of their documentary. They filmed over 10 minutes of footage but had to cut it down to 5 minutes. The video log sheet was used to log each video clip and determine which clips to keep. The edit decision list then laid out the final order of clips to make editing on Final Cut Express easier and help estimate timing.

1. Here are some scans of the groups edit decision list, this helped us to
create our documentary and know exactly what we wanted, overall we got
together over 10 minutes of filming and had to cut it down to exactly 5
minutes. We needed to get the best parts and make sure that it would
professional and it would all be related to our documentary. This edit
decision list was used after our video log sheet, the video log sheet was
simply the log what we had videoed, we logged this by using the name of
what type of videoing it was e.g. vox pops. And then tried to describe the
clip the best we could to remember it. The edit decision list is more like the
final decisions list where we are able to create an order of the
documentary. The following slides are the scans of the video log sheets
and the edit decision lists.

3. This is the video log sheet this was
the first thing we did after
transferring all of our clips onto the
computer. We counted how many
separate clips we did then decided
with either a tick or a cross if we were
going to keep them. By deleting them
this meant that the shot wasn’t very
good or the sound wasn’t clear or
what we took just wouldn’t fit into
the rest of the documentary. When
filming we just filmed as much
footage as we could so we could
select what we wanted as easy as we
did.

5. This is the edit decision list, as
you can see we have decided
what order to put our clips. This
made it much easier to put
together on final cut express and
start creating the documentary,
by doing this and noting the
length of each clip it made it
easier for us to estimate how
much we would need to get rid
of and a guideline of how much
we needed to keep.
