Video/film data sheets are valuable to you (fig. 13-17). By looking at
them you can tell the scenes that have been shot and those that still
need to be done. Their main value, however, is to the editor. Without
data sheets, the editor does not know the order in which the scenes were
shot. Notice how the slate and data sheets work hand in hand. For a
large project, the editor can check the data sheets and find a
particular tape or scene easily. By screening just one videotape, the
editor can spot the scene by checking the slate images. Imagine looking
for a particular scene, at random, when it could be anywhere in a dozen
or more tapes. Many hours are wasted when your data sheets are not
properly prepared. The data sheet also may prevent accidental use of the
wrong footage. If a scene was refilmed to correct an error, both the
rejected and corrected versions of the same scene can be identified.
