Whilst renaming the clips, we set a standard layout that we would follow for each clip. The layout we decided on was:
(MUTE) - SHOT TYPE - DAY/NIGHT - INTERIOR/EXTERIOR - SHOT DESCRIPTION
We also decided that we would each some abbreviations to make the clip names shorter and easier for us the read. The abbreviations that we used are:
- WS - Wide Shot
- LS - Long Shot
- MS - Mid Shot
- CU - Close Up
- ECU - Extreme Close Up
- INT - Interior
- EXT - Exterior
The screenshot below shows some of the files that we had started to rename.
Once we had finished the first clips and cut it down into individual clips, I wanted to make sure that we kept all of those clips together rather than mixing them all up with the rest of the clips that we were about to cut up. To keep them separate, I created a new bin to put them into, using Command + B. I renamed the bin to be the same as the original file name and then added sub clips to the end of it. I did this for each of the clips. Below is a screenshot of the bins I created.
Whilst we were going through the clips, I noticed that for some of them, there were several takes. To save time when it came to the assembly of the project, we looked at which clips were the best and labelled them with a highlight so we could easily see which was the best take. To do this I right-clicked on the best clip, went down to the bottom of the list and went into the label category and selected 'Best Take', which gave the clip an orange highlight. Below is a screenshot of the process.
After 3 hours of cutting up the original clips and renaming them, we finally managed to get all of them cut up just as we wanted them and renamed in an efficient way so when it comes to assembling the project, we know exactly which clip is which
