Spent today working on editing interviews and cutting them together with actuality clips. It was the first time I have used the transcript edit technique and I have to say although quite useful not really what I prefer personally.
I see the edit as another chance for myself to explore what I have got in my footage, but then again I haven't exactly edited an interview together before. In truth I haven't even really done very much dialogue work until my last film in Directions.
This was a learning experience though and I did try and use the hammering to link the interview and make it seem less like I was using jump cuts, however the hammering turned out to be too prominent and distracted from the interview.
Here is the final product:
It's good practice handling footage which has a combination of issues to overcome, especially sound issues. There is usually a solution, but it is not easy!
