Choose an appropriate term from the Edit Status Authority List. Use "Edited" if the moving images or sound recordings have been edited, such as a film in its final production stage. Use "Partially Edited" if the moving images or sound recordings have been partially edited, such as a film that has been assembled but is not in final format. Use "Unedited" if the moving images or sound recordings have not been edited, such as a tape right out of the camera. Unedited footage is sometimes referred to as "raw footage." |
