Sync Assembly Workshop - 10/5/21

 

In this workshop, Sam taught us about the importance of a transcript when in the post-production phase of our project and he also taught us how to read and follow the transcript when editing on Premiere Pro. The footage shown above was the edit that I managed to put together following the transcript that was given to us. I decided to add the audio effect known as 'Exponential Fade' to smooth the cuts of the audio I had to piece together. The company, Soundsnap, specifically a filmmaker/video editor called Jason Brandel, the author of this website article, agrees with me saying that it is: "great at smoothing out cut-up dialogue. Because of its curve, it allows for a smooth transition before, between, and after individual words and syllables." (Brandel, 2019)

A transcript is a script that can help when editing to piece the final product together, Louise Tapia, the CEO of Take 1, a transcription metadata company that provides transcripts, access services, translations, and post-production scripts to production companies, studios, localisation vendors and networks across the globe, describes a transcript as: "A 100% accurate word-for-word account of a movie, documentary or online video and is a crucial element to the smooth running of the post-production process." (Tapia, 2017).

With the amount of time we have to complete this unit, unfortunately, we wouldn't have enough time to write a transcript for our documentary, so we will be following our script in the post-production phase.
