Example Log Sheet Hand-out

Log Sheets are a shot-by-shot, written record of the details of production. Log sheets should include the type of film exposed, a separate number for each take, f-stops, filters used (if any), and any other relevant details of each shot. The above definition is a more detailed version of a log sheet however for the purpose of your Hip-Hop video I have created a simpler log sheet for you to work from initially. The example log sheet you have been given is from a production that I worked on in February called 'PALL'. As you can see it has a box for: Scene #, Take #, Description, IN, Sound and G/NG. Below is a table of what these mean and how you can use these to fill out your own log sheet. In your blank log sheet I have left out 'Take #' as you won't need it for this production. SCENE # This relates to the Scene Number, in the case of your log sheet this should be the section of the event that has been shot. For example: 'group freestyle' or 'interview with [person's name]'. This column is for the description of the scene. For example 'Jazzy dances with student'. This should also include what type of shot it is. For example: 'general shot from the right-hand side of the stage'. 'In' means the file number of the shot. For example: 'MOV 5001'.

DESCRIPTION

IN

SOUND

'Sound' means the file number of the sound file. For example: 'mp4 1001'. (We can add these to your log sheets later.) 'G/NG' means Good or No Good. This should be written when the shot has been watched and determined as to whether it is usable or not.

G/NG

Task Use the example log sheet to fill in five rows on the blank log sheet form by Friday 30th December.

Remember to include your name, the title of the production, the date of the shoot and the camera you were using. For now put the model of the camera you used e.g 550d and we'll assign camera numbers at a later date.
