As we all know, editing is a huge part in what makes a film or scene successful. But we do not simply get given the footage after it has been filmed and then begin editing, we have to plan the edit.
Traditionally, to edit a minute of screen time takes around about an hour, this gives us an estimated time as to when the film will be complete and enables us to inform the directors and producers.
A shot list should be provided, a detailed description of every shot, including camera movement. Storyboards are also a very useful thing to have as an editor whilst completing the edit, it gives you more of a sense of what the overall film should look like.
This process is vital when planning films, it is what enables us to get the pace, feel and edits right in pre-production.
