Instruction manual

Camcorder Position Number, then refer to the Take Sheet, and see how many Takes took
place from the position. Look at the Shot/Scene Descriptions and Remarks. Determine
the best Take (if more than 1), and write down the Take Number for the shot on the Beat
Sheet.
During editing, you’ll tell the Editor that you’re looking for a shot - let’s say Camera
Position 4, Take 2 - and it should be easy to find. You’ll be able to search the Source
tape forwards and backwards, and see the footage played back on a video monitor. Refer
to the Slates at the beginning of each Take to find the correct Camera Position and Take
number.
