I'm at the stage now where we have organised the clips according to the structured transcript. At the moment its in its roughest cut form, from here we're able to rearrange footage until we are 100% happy with the order in which the interviews fall; then we can begin to fill the gaps with cutaways. The use of cut aways both creates space between interviews, allowing the audience room to think and take in information. However, in a more practical sense, it will allow us to cut up interview footage and edit it into what sounds like a seamless response.

This stage of editing is the most important as its this that will become the very skeleton of the film, get it wrong and no matter how beautiful the imagery is, if the content isn't engaging, the piece cannot be successful.
