@squeeks1234 a year has passed, and you probably got this info, but hey, on smaller sets the CO doubles as the DP...

@tereesha In FILM there is no sound track on negative film. So the only reference is visual (hence, use slate for film) and that is why there really is no need for a slate in video because audio and video are married.

@goldenpizza On information i got about slate, it seems like the slate panel refers to the number of shoot. So its like Scene 1 slate 1 shot 1 take 1, and then if that take is good and no need for the 2nd take, the next is scene 1 slate 2 shot 2 take 1. So the slate panel will keep counting up all the shoot we do despite of the scene/shot/take, and never start back the number unlike shot or take. What i'm not sure about is how is this will be of help in the editing process.

@tereesha Shot and Take can be synonymous, i.e. they are the same meaning.
regard "SLATE", On shoots with multiple cameras, there may also be multiple SLATES on set to sync audio to different cameras. So the editor needs to know which audio to match with which camera. This is not used much anymore with audio and video synced in video cameras.
on mine (i designed) I put on a "panel" pane. you know, like on a storyboard?? It just helps me organize it better.
i also took out "roll". I don't use film, or even tape, anymore, I use a hard drive and sdhc card

@goldenpizza np. did u know "The Frugal Filmmaker" (his username on ytube, j) he made a pdf that you can download thats a clapperboard. u know those tiny cheap blackboard clapperboards that are like 2 dollers, ? well if you print out his template, laminate it (then you can use dry erase marker) then its the perfect size for those little clapperboards i was talking about, just tape it to it! also you could edit the pdf, then you can custumize it! i even put my logo on it! it turned out very well!

@shapeworkstudios1 Thanks. I have a video called "GoldenPizza Filmmaking Help" where I discuss a DIY slate too and give you a link to download and print one. Of course, the original video ( I remade it), was from 2005, so I've been "frugal" for some time, lol.
