152 Chapter 8 Generating Film Lists and Change Lists
When Are Change Lists Used?
Change lists are typically used in a cyclical workflow that involves both digital editing
and workprints.
First, a workprint is made from the original camera negative, ink numbers are applied to
the edge of the workprint, and a telecine transfer video is made of the workprint. Then,
the workprint video is edited in a digital editing system and a cut list (usually based on
ink numbers) is exported and used as a guide to conform the workprint. Next:
1 The cut workprint is projected for screenings, and decisions to cut or add to the film
result from the screenings.
2 The changes are made to the movie in the digital editing system.
3 Another change list is exported, providing instructions for modifying the workprint to
conform to the new version of the movie.
4 With the change list as a guide, the film assistant conforms the workprint to match the
new version of the movie.
These four steps are repeated until it is decided that the picture is locked. Finally, the
original camera negative is cut to match the final workprint and cut list.
