Transcribing

My task today was to transcribe all the answers to the questions asked whilst filming. This was to prepare me for an upcoming task of making interesting answer compilation sequences.

To do this, I created an excel spreadsheet with three columns. One was for the question asked, the second was for the answer and the third was for my opinion as to whether it was an answer that should be used in answer compilation sequences and a brief summary of why.

This was a relatively straight forward task, however I ran into some difficulty translating some of the stronger American accents. To work out what was being said, I listened to each clip at least three times to check I had transcribed the answer word for word. If this was not possible, I highlighted the row in yellow and checked with the director towards the end of the day and he was able work out what was being said for me.



This task will be highly useful in my upcoming editing task as I now have a clear list of the answers I want to use for the compilation clips I am going to create next week. It was quite a long task but it has shown me all the footage available for me to work with, so in the long run it will save me time when I come to editing the clips together.
