Pretty sure it's what Murch writes in In The Blink Of An Eye, but he was
talking about KEM's, where they would assemble their rushes in 10-min reels.

I'll admit having copied that technique. I create a sequence of all shots
and takes for a certain scene. I use that to watch the footage, and make
notes (add markers), and I use it later, flipping through the sequence to
quickly determine what's in there.
