ABSTRACT
The simplest system of logging shots is to call the first shot of the first day’s shooting Slate Number 1 and proceeds consecutively until the last shot of the last day of shooting. By using this system the risk of logging two shots with the same slate numbers is negated – unless the clapperloader and continuity have made a mistake on location! As each individual shot has its own specific slate and take number, there is little danger of confusion during the editing process.
