Foundations - Sorting Out The Files

When all the shoots had been completed, it was my turn to bring the work together through editing. The first thing I did was capture the footage, and sort out the files into labels, bins and folders. I saved the project as 'Untitled Drama' as at this point in post-production, we didn't have a completed title. 


Before sorting through the visual footage, I decided to look through the sound bites first, because it would be the storyboard and dialogue on the script I would be following to bring the story together. So firstly, I sorted out the sound into separate files for each character, and then by different types of sound, for example Mono and Stereo recordings.


I then went through all the visual production, sorting it once again into corresponding folders. This was a helpful process because it allowed to easily find where every file was, so I didn't waste time looking through every file because I can't find the piece of footage I want to use for a particular section of the film. 

After completing the sorting process, I went on to start a rough assembly of shots and sound bites that I'd like to include in the piece.
