I have worked at Fuzzy Duck now for  almost one and a half years, and one of my roles at the company has been editing. We have produced documentaries for different companies, museums and sports clubs and one of things I've learnt is how to find the story you want to tell. 

A lot of the time you know what story you want to tell in the early stages of a project. Before you've shot anything, you can get an idea of what a project needs to say by talking to your client, and familiarising yourself with the audience.

This can change when you start recording. The questions you've prepared for an interview are good starter points, but when you hear the answers, you may find something else. A story kept quiet for years could be revealed; a new theme for your documentary can be explored.

When you injest your footage and watch it on a timeline, this is another opportunity to find the story. You'll probably have some idea of the main themes, but this is a chance to put two or three answers side by side and find something you never thought you'd find.

The Warrington Wolves project was a big learning curve for me. We must have filmed 12 or 13 interviews, all lasting between 15 and 30 minutes. We knew the main themes of the doc when we were filming, but there was so much more to include once I went through them all. 

It goes to show that you can find a story anywhere; whether it's a former rugby player or just the man on the street. Our job is to keep searching for something that an audience wants to see.
