Task 1: Rushes Log
This task will help you decide which clips will be most suitable to meet the clients
brief. Rushes logs will show a full appreciation of the possibilities and limitations of
shots. All paperwork will be clear and organised to a near-professional
standard.
You must check each rush and offer a description of the action in each clip. In your
description you MUST use camera specific terminology to describe the shot. You
must then decide whether this clip could be used in the final construction and give a
reason as to why you have made that decision.
