its hard for me to explain what each stage is so I used the definition from a website
First Assembly
The editor considers all the visual and audio material collected on the shoot for each scene and then re-orders it in the way to tell the story best.
Rough Cut
The rough cut can take up to three months to complete. Each editor works differently. Sometimes the editor works alone and shows the day or weeks work to the director and producer, Sometimes the editor and director work together, discussing every nuance. As I got told by John Gilbert in my interview with him.
First Cut
The first cut is a basic cut that is accepted by the editor, the director, and the producer. every shot is in the right places, although changes can still be made. The later film is visible.
Hint: Never be afraid to let the first cut ‘rest’ for a few days so everyone involved can see it with fresh eyes.
Fine Cut
The fine cut no longer focuses on the entire film, but on the details of each and every cut. This makes the film look more like a film and good for the first cut.
Final Cut
When a fine cut has been agreed with the editor, director and producer, the sound designer, music composer and title designer join the editor. Sound effects and music are created and added to the final cut. When everyone has agreed with the final cut, the Edit Decision List is sent to the lab where a negative cutter ‘conforms’ the negative to the EDL in order to create a negative that is an exact copy of the final cut.
