Editing: Public Interviews

So this is what the timeline for the public interviews looks as of yesterday. I basically cut out the best parts of the interviews we conducted and started to organise them into a suitable order. Today I will be cutting them down because as you can see from the screenshot, they run up to around 9 minutes which is obviously far too long for what should be around 1 - 2 minutes long.


The following screenshot is how it now looks having been cut down.

The public interviews have been cut down to approximately 2 and a half minutes now and are looking really good, giving the whole documentary a really good structure.
Myself and Harry, whilst editing, decided to try out having a section at the beginning that opens up with 'How would you describe a typical media student?' to which the interviewees' natural responses are 'erm,' taken from the footage of all the interviews taken. This instantly describes what the documentary is about and gives it a great opening. Following on from this is a rough cut of the establishing shots of Sheffield, which would then include the voiceover that we shall record over the weekend.
