Before editors edit a film, they put each footage they received from their director into specific bins, for example, I made and renamed three new events for me to put the footage in. 'Train Station', 'Street' and 'Home'. Professional editors do this because it is important to put footage in each bin which should each have a name as it would be a whole lot easier for a editor to find the footage he wants and to know if they got all the footage in each bin. After the editors have sorted out the footage in the right bin, they should add comments to each footage, so this way the editors will know if it is a good or bad shot to use for the film and then know what shot to use when they start editing and dragging footage into the timeline. Following this procedure will save time and money for editors because they are reducing time in the editing suite.
