BSA105: Stages of Offline Editing (Week 3)

Unlike the previous post, we also went through camel case.
Camel case is when you name a project and the start of it has to be in small letters.
For example: bSA105_SngWeeJie_(Filename).mov
As you can see, the b in BSA in small and the first letter of my full name is all in Capital. This works like a camel hump.

General Stages of Offline Editing
Logging - A process in which video footage is watched, organized and labeled according to its content.

First Assembly Edit - Piecing the shots together as written in the script/storyboard. 

Rough Cut - The first stage in which the film begins to resemble its final product. Rough cuts do not flow well and still undergo many changes before the release of the film.

Fine Cut - The fine cut no longer focuses on the entire film, but on the details of each and every cut. The fine cut emphasises and strengthens the rhythms and structures identified in the Rough cut.

Final Cut (Picture Lock) - When a fine cut has been agreed with the editor, director and producer, the sound designer, music composer and title designer join the editor. Sound effects and music are created and added to the final cut. When everyone has agreed with the final cut, the Edit Decision List is sent to the lab where a negative cutter ‘conforms’ the negative to the EDL in order to create a negative that is an exact copy of the final cut.
