How to Keep Set Logs for Post; helping camera, sound and script give the editor what they need

How to Keep Set Logs for Post is a free, self-paced course on the paperwork that carries a movie from set to the cutting room. Thirteen steps cover every log a set produces and what post does with it: camera reports and roll names, sound reports and timecode, the DIT log and checksums, the script supervisor’s lined script and notes, the production report, the director’s selects, VFX data and photo logs, and the naming rules that tie them together. Each step has a short read, a Don’t skip box with the part first-timers miss, an example from one invented Texas shoot day called Learner’s Permit, and questions you answer for your own show. You’ll follow one day from the first card to the assistant editor’s bins, then on to the cutting room, insurance and delivery. Included: the How to Keep Set Logs for Post workbook, a file that opens in your web browser and saves as you type, plus a printable worksheet for every step, a blank camera report, sound report and DIT log, a naming conventions card and an assistant editor’s ingest checklist. The workbook compiles your answers into one printable set-to-post paperwork plan at the end. Work through it at your own speed. There are no videos and no live sessions. When your show needs a breakdown, a budget or a schedule, Goldsmith Production Services does that work too.
