Reframing the Interface 9- Post-Production Part 1

To begin with I organised my footage by naming the files what they were, for instance the cutaways are called 'Skull Ornament.mov' and so on. This made it easier when knowing what footage to import to what bin.

Example of naming the footage in Finder. 

I then began by making Bin's for each character and making sub-bins inside that folder for each part, for instance I have bins for each interview, archive imagery and so on so that I could easily find each clip.

Main Bin folders

 Sub-bin folders

I then imported all of the footage into the sub-folders, for instance I made part folders for the Buffalo Fish interview because of how long-winded the interview was. 

I then imported all of the interviews and began cutting the parts I had highlighted previously on my transcript. This process took quite a lot of time however I was happy with the outcome and I managed to cut the project time down by more than half. 

Timeline with all of the interviews.

I then began importing the archive footage to the timeline to support the facual information they were giving, in addition to characters that the audience will not know, for instance when Terry mentioned Dennis Wilcock I incorporate a picture of Dennis in Iron Maiden.

Archive folders for Doug

I then began to create a structure for the film through the clips, so I began with Tony introducing the film with a statement about how his career began and then progressing into the Iron Maiden stories. This then progresses onto Terry who jumps into the story to support what Terry is saying. Terry is then introduced as one of the main characters and discusses his time in Iron Maiden, the oprogressing onto Doug, who shares stories and final thoughts then follows from all three of them. This is the basic structure of the Iron Maiden part of the film, which then progresses onto Doug discussing what he dud outside of Iron Maiden with Airforce, progressing onto Tony who talks about the work he has done and then Terry. The film will then cut to the 'Maiden charity event, showing their ongoing passion for music through each of their performances, giving their final thoughts of being in Iron Maiden and what they see themselves doing in the future. This was the initial structure of the film, so the timeline was layed out this way through the footage imported onto the timeline.
