This is a video I just edited for the Channel 31 show, "Dutch T.V."
I'm happy with the end result, especially considering the problems I had to overcome:
For some reason, the director/interviewer shot the entire interview from one locked off camera angle, making it near-impossible to edit - and didn't even provide any cut-away shots!
The footage ran at over an hour, to be cut down to 8 minutes. What made it so difficult to edit, though, was the fact that the interviewer tended to talk over the interviewees while they were speaking, essentially killing shots. I had to source, then slice out words from other sections of the interview to replace the ruined audio footage, while overlaying a photo or video clip to disguise the edits. A good example of this was the opening of the interview - the entire opening audio before the black title card was cut from three separate clips, again masked by a stage DVD clip.
Another issue was the way the interviewees were asked questions. They were asked in such a way that it was difficult to understand what they were talking about. For example, instead of answering questions with a "my dad was a...", they would usually say, "yeah.... he was, actually....". This, again, was fixed by taking words/lines from other parts of the interview and overlaying stage clips and photographs.
Overall, I'm not exactly ecstatic with the final video itself, but considering the issues I was able to overcome, I'm pleased enough with the result to post it here.
