Default Cutting and Organizing Clips

I am creating a Wedding video for my cousing with Adobe Pro/AE/Encore. I have three video files from two camera's (same material, different shooters) for about 3 hours of raw footage. I am targeting a 30-45 minute finished video with a "extra scenes" section on the DVD. I have outlined a story board and am ready to tackle the raw footage to see what I have and grab/organize clips.

Can some one recommend a method and organization for doing the clips? I thought I would start by building a library of clips then assemble them into my story line. Is there a good naming convention for the files. All the recommendations I see are on the mechanics of using the SW. I have a handle on this am looking for recommendations basic editing methods, i.e., project organization, how to cut the clips, clip/file naming, etc.

Thanks,
Dave
