Preparing to edit: importing clips; bins; timelines; storage and folder management; online and offline editing; formats; resolution

Criteria

Merit - Learners will apply editing preparation techniques systematically and the documents they produce will be functional and prepared with some care. There will be a recognition of why such documentation is necessary. However, rushes logs will typically lack full detail, edit decision lists will over-simplify sequences and the organisation of paperwork will lack proper rigour.

Distinction - Work will be characterised by preparation which is thorough, systematic and detailed. Rushes logs will show a full appreciation of the possibilities and limitations of shots, and edit decision lists will provide a fully detailed blueprint for the final piece. All paperwork will be clear and organised to a near-professional standard.
