We recorded the sound on a Mehrantz 660 using a rifle mic and a boom and filmed the footage on Maz's DSLR 3000 and tripod.
When it came to the editing suites we all chipped in in various ways to but Emma decided upon the main structure with Joe and Fiona also editing. We put together a transcript and also converted the footage through MPEG streamclip in order to reduce rendering times in FCP from times such as 30 minutes to 3 minutes.
I then made 3 sequences which contained our main 3 interviews, in each of them I lip synced all the footage up to the sound. This was so a rough cut could be made. once the cut of picture was put together and the snippets of sound decided upon i exported each sound clip out to Soundtrack Pro and put it through the compresser and noise reduction before putting it back again in order to improve the original recordings.
Joe also got a muscian he knows to play som acoustic Beatles tracks and this formed the basis of our backing tracking as well the recordings of buskars that we got the permission to record and use in Liverpool city centre. I feel this was an effective way to come up with the backing track to help link our images together and make the documentary flow better.
