During the post-production process, I firstly imported all of the relevant media files (raw footage, music file) into Adobe Premiere Pro, and organised them into bins. I then added all of the raw performance takes to the timeline, and manually synced each of them to the master music track. Given the rather abrupt opening to Colder On The Inside, I was able to gauge the syncing process by expanding, and using, the audio waveform on the timeline. I then trimmed down all the clips to remove the excess footage from before, and after, the track start and end. Here is a screenshot of all the synced footage on the timeline:
After all the footage had been synced, I watched through each of the performance takes, and made note of the timecode at relevant parts which would definitely feature in the cut. I then starting making cuts to the clips on the timeline, making sure the most suitable footage was visible throughout the track in it's entirety (such as the vocalist for strong vocal parts, and the guitar for any solos, etc.). Here is a screenshot of all the cut footage on the timeline:
In order to differentiate the Manchester Academy 3 footage from that shot at the Haworth Art Gallery, I de-saturated each of the pieces of footage shot there, using the Tint tool. To gain the effect of the live performance footage cross-dissolving with the bokeh shots of the live gig footage, I applied a Cross-Dissolve transition to the footage, and then changed the opacity of the footage using keyframes so that I could take control over the duration, and speed, of the transition. Here is a screenshot of the timeline, showing the Cross-Dissolve transition, and the keyframes:
