After visiting the archive, I acquired more than enough footage but I wasn't necessarily sure of how I wanted to shape the narrative. Me being me, instead of a storyboard I decided to create multiple draft edits. Soon enough I decided that the story was flowing better when it was in four parts: intro, the stories, the facts, the ending. As soon as I had decided that, I focused on arranging all the files into Premiere Pro bins as there were so many it got hard to keep up with them.

I did a rough edit before writing down the script for me to then record in Latvian and type in English. After multiple recordings, I got audio that I thought was okay - I was very self-conscious of my voice but I pushed that aside to keep moving forward.

Whilst editing, I decided to go off-script a little and record some more audio - this time I kept it Latvian-only, not translating it and directing it towards Latvians. I had had the idea to do this before so I thought I'd try it. It was also my way of fixing the problem of having a too voice-controlled film as at this point it was getting too overwhelming in terms of text.
