Prepare an edit log.

Preparation should include

• a list of shots to be included in a finished program
• shot order, length of shot, location of source footage for each shot
• an edit decision list (EDL), a computer-generated list of edit events from an edit controller, or non-linear edit system.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What information is included in an edit log and EDL?
• When should an edit log or EDL be used?
• What is the benefit of using an EDL?
