  • aligning the rushes from each of four cameras with the master live edit
  • offline editing to tidy and adjust the live cuts
  • exploring alternate camera angles and additional shots
  • the online and grade
  • creating the titles
  • creating DVD menus and graphics and authoring the DVD for glass-master print run.

In addition 1185films also created the DVD trailer and cut a selection of songs for promotion as part of the First Night Records advertising campaign.
