Commission Documentary Unit 3: John Ramsden

Today we had a workshop with John Ramsden who is an editor at the BBC. 

In a workshop with John, we had to look at a transcription from an interview from Canterbury Cathedral, and edit together the highlighted sections to create a short interview. We had to find the right words which fit in the video and make sure it sounded natural, to do this I closed my eyes and listened to the footage together to see how it sounded. After it being checked, when got given some cut aways of the workshop which we could add in the sequence so it wasn’t choppy from where we had edited it and cut it. I liked the workshop however found it quite annoying to try find the words that sounded best when edited together but the transcriptions was really helpful as we could follow the time stamp and go directly to the part of the interview we wanted. Here is the finished video I produced.
