As editor I am not required to be on set, and personally I prefer not to as then when I get the footage I have a clear view on it without subconsciously comparing it to the set. The first shoot day was Saturday 9th November so on Monday I met with Mike and got the footage off him. All the footage was .mxf files, this meant I didn't not have to convert the files in mpeg Streamclip. Instead I was able to import them straight into Avid Media Composer saving me a lot off time.
I met Hannah and got the sound recording on Sundays and she gave me her sound log from on set so I was able to label these clips up prior to importing them. I found this a very easy process as the original files were much more organised.
Once I had imported the Footage into avid I went through and organised the clips, labelling them and putting them into specific bins in relation to each scene. I also created this Footage log incase I need to refers back to the original file number. I had expected to get this off Mike like Hannah did with sound but I didn't so here the one I did:

As I had the majority of scene 3 I was able to start editing it together. The first stage was to re-sync the clips with the audio Hannah had recorded on the marantz. I did this by setting in points on both the video and audio clips then auto-sync them using these points. This then meant in each but I had the Original Video and Audio clips and the new sync clips. Here is an example:
