Practice question · Sort into groups
Sort each act by the stage of post-exposure work it belongs to.
Groups: Editing: choosing which frames survive · Sequencing: deciding the order · Cataloguing: making the archive findable
- Culling blinks
- Cutting for flow
- Tagging files
- Batch renaming
- Marking picks
- Ordering series
Hints
- Two of the six are decisions about order rather than about quality.
- One item involves removing a good picture, which places it firmly in one category.
Show the answer
Editing: choosing which frames survive: Marking picks, Culling blinks
Sequencing: deciding the order: Ordering series, Cutting for flow
Cataloguing: making the archive findable: Tagging files, Batch renaming
Why
The fourth item is the one that separates the two creative stages. Editing asks whether a picture is good; sequencing asks what it does to its neighbours, and those questions have different answers often enough that the strongest frame is regularly the one that leaves.
