Shot logs are a great tool to have when editing. A shot log is usually compiled during production and will provide you, the editor, with important information about each shot such as scene information, time code in and out points, and notes on the quality of the take. However, not all production teams feel the need for shot logs, or sometimes forget to fill them out. In the case of one-man bands, there just aren't enough hands to direct, operate the camera, monitor the audio, and jot down notes. This often results in the editor receiving a stack of tapes with no idea as to what is on them.
As an editor, you'll most likely want to dive into the project and immediately start cutting. Not having a shot log will slow down the editing process significantly since you will be forced to scrub through all the footage in search of usable shots. Since you're going to have to watch the footage anyway, you might as well be logging those shots. This will allow you to retrieve information necessary for batch capturing. You'll also become more familiar with the footage, which will help you make better editing choices.
If you do log your tapes, be sure to indicate on your shot logs the date and name found on the tape. You can then label your edit bins according to the tape they correspond to, creating a organized system that is easy to follow. With great organizational techniques and shot logs you'll always be able to locate those great shots with quickness and ease.
