• audience testings: one with the director’s cut and one following the editing that has been done based on the first testing. Before you work out your deal with the editor, be clear about your own plan, because you don’t want to confirm one deal and then later say you’ve changed your mind.
• So, by day 2, when I got the list from Mark, I would check to see where each person was represented and then I would organize them into calls based on that information.
• So it’s your job to go through the script line by line, scene by scene with your yellow highlighter and flag all the areas that you think will make excellent stills and the areas that will be important for the making of footage as well.
• Regarding the editor’s payment schedule, on our movies we agreed on a flat fee for his services, which was divided into two payments, one during production and one during postproduction.
