The Overview Movie
Start by looking at the overview movie for these four scenes. (The overview movie filesa are in a different folder than the film dailies.) The overview movie shows you the important parts of the film dailies in chronological order so you can quickly see which shots are best.
Transfer the dailies
Copy all the film dailies (not the overview movie) to your hard drive. If necessary, convert the dailies to whatever format your editing program prefers. Import them into your editing program.
Edit the scenes
Editing the scenes is easy. Always start by looking for the best audio. Once the audio (along with the picture) is edited, you will lock the audio and roll the picture edits to find the best visual transitions thereby creating "L-Cuts".
The opening shot
These four scenes are mixed in between scenes about the main characters. To help the audience know that these scenes are from the story about the store keeper's family, show the [icture of the store at the beginning of each scene.
Notice that the actors to repeat their line perfectly each time with exactly the same tone. As you will see, this makes editing so much easier.
The Next Scene
These four scenes are simple to edit. Fromt the TV show, there are four more scenes which are easy to edit... except for the last one which is "Come on In".
