Answer:1. Logging

The dailies or rushes are sorted and labelled in 'bins'. Each take can contain extra notes from the director or the cinematographer. This is the first time the editor sees the film, and since it is shot out of sequence, it is out of context of the story. A good editor views the rushes and looks for fluidity of movement and nuances that will later be incorporated into the film.

2. First Assembly

The editor considers all the visual and audio material collected on the shoot for each scene and then re-orders it in the way to tell the story best.

3. Rough Cut and Variations

The rough cut can take up to three months to complete. Each editor works differently. Sometimes the editor works alone and shows the day or weeks work to the director and producer, Sometimes the editor and director work together, discussing every nuance.
