01
List the work before combining names and roles
Identify the scene title and the version the sheet describes. Then list the contributions separately: performance, sound recording and editing. Use one row per contribution even when a person appears in more than one row. This makes the division of work visible without assuming that the most prominent person performed every task. If a contribution has not yet been assigned or its description is disputed, mark it as unresolved. The first draft of the sheet should be an account to check, not a polished-looking substitute for that conversation.
02
Ask contributors to review the wording of their entries
Share the relevant draft entries with the collaborators and ask whether the role descriptions and display names accurately reflect their contributions. Keep a note of the responses and the version they reviewed. If an entry changes, preserve the earlier wording in the working record so the change can be understood. This step concerns the accuracy of the credits. It should not be presented as automatically settling every separate question about sharing the recording or using an excerpt in someone’s portfolio.
03
Connect the reviewed sheet to the version being shown
Before presenting a clip, compare its version with the credit sheet and check whether the contributions have changed. A new edit or replacement recording may require an updated entry. Keep unresolved credits out of a falsely definitive statement and return them to the collaborators for clarification. The completed sheet identifies the scene, the relevant version, the separate contributions and the reviewed wording. It gives a future reader a clearer account of who did what while leaving other publication decisions to their own appropriate process.
