This is the place you begin answering the question of how. When you have your story plotted and characters set, before you shoot any scene, imagine yourself in the editing room looking at the footage from the shoot. What do you want to see? What is important -- the location, the actor, a prop? What shots do you want to cut from/to? How do you plan to edit the scene? You have to imagine the scene already shot and edited in your head so you either know what to shoot or know what to tell your DP you want shot.
My life for the last two-and-a-half years:
I was here at the end of every shoot day transferring, logging, backing up, rendering, then a year editing picture and a year editing sound -- that's just the way it went.
Set up a place you can work every day. Plan your shoots from the edit room. What do you want to see on the monitor?
Obviously, much more on this topic later.
