The Basic contents of an editing workshop disk

 * Finding the scene
 * To create an editing workshop for dialog editing, you need a scene which stands by itself. It must make sence when pulled out of the rest of the movie.


 * The overview movie
 * The overview movie is more than just the dailies cut apart and placed into chronological order. The overview movie is also a tour of the movie set and the most entertaining part of the disk.


 * The audio edit
 * In a conversation, the audio edit is the first step. This can be shown after the fact or the selection process can be shown, either as part of the overview movie or as a separate story.


 * Possible picture edits
 * You must decide if the editing workshop should show multiple possible edits for the picture which emphasizes one actor over another.
