The Flow of Film

The accounting features of the LCC allow the AC to keep track of all the footage from pre to post
production. The LCC keeps three logs to track all footage. These are the Received Raw Stock log,
the Available Raw Stock log and the Exposed Film log.

1

All new raw stock should be entered in the Received Raw Stock log. This serves as a record
for the AC to determine when what was received. New raw stock is entered through the New
Raw Stock Entry
dialog box which is available from the Accounting menu.

2

Because it is now available for exposure, the new footage will automatically be posted in the
Available Raw Stock log. This log will track all available footage. It lists the number of full 400
and 1000 foot cans as well as each single short end.

3

Camera Rolls are created either manually (by entering the good, no good and waste figures in
the Add Roll dialog) or automatically (the LCC records each take in a camera report). In either
case the footage for that roll will be taken out of the Available Raw Stock log.

4

Once a roll is finished and closed, the exposed footage will be posted in the Exposed Film log.
Each roll is represented by a line in the Exposed Film log. This log is a summary of all camera
reports.

At the end of the day the AC can print out all Camera Reports and/or a Daily Film Report which
contains the totals of all the film shot, sorted by emulsion. The other logs can also be printed.
All these lists, reports and logs are stored in an accounting file. It is recommended to create one
accounting file per show. If no accounting file is open, the title bar of the LCC will show the word
“LCC”. If an accounting file is open, its name will be displayed in the title bar.
