A Day in the Life

Time	Activity
09:00	Switch on kit , check that necessary material has been digitised ( if not - shoot someone) go for breakfast
10:00	Director may have arrived by now - if so discuss the nature of the piece , how they want to assemble it - e.g. sync pull, rough assembly, fine cut and overlay pictures.
10:15	Order coffees
10:30	Start editing, constantly discussing with director the best shots, combinations of shots, sequence order etc. Obviously ignoring the director as often as possible and doing your own thing , because that's patently better.
13:00	Lunch. Director should buy the beers if sensible
14:00	-ish. Continue edit , try and insist on afternoon nap
19:00	- 23:00 (variable) Finish edit - show to producer , re-edit , prepare audio tracklay for dub, play finished item onto tape , switch off kit . Go home.
