 * Part one: Gather Footage**

**Learn about B-Roll** The term //B-roll// originates from the method of [|16 mm film] production from an [|original camera negative]. Frames of [|workprint] and of original negative are matched exactly through the use of [|edge numbers] that appeared on each frame of original and work print. But the original was not strung together in a simple linear fashion as was the work print. Instead, the original was edited in a " [|checkerboard] " pattern, with each shot synchronized to an equal length of opaque leader on a second roll. These "A and B" rolls functioned equally to make blind splices, [|fades], and [|dissolves] possible. Each roll was printed separately onto a single roll of raw stock to produce projection prints [|[1]] The process is described in the 1982 edition of the "Recommended Procedures" of the Association of Cinema and Video Laboratories, and in the classic text, //Film and its techniques// [|[]. [|2]]
 * B-roll**, **B roll**, or **Broll** is supplemental or alternate [|footage] intercut with the main shot in an [|interview] or [|documentary].
