Digital News Production Unit- Vox Pop Transcripts.

Recently our Producer; Roxanne was given the footage we collected of the Canterbury Vox Pops to transcribe them. She did this very quickly and then uploaded the document to our Google Docs account. Below is a screenshot of the document. I didn't want to upload it to my blog, as I didn't really have any part in the creation of the transcription.
Instead you can view the transcription on Roxanne Meats blog here.

Since Roxanne wasn't sure who was who as I interviewed so many people, she inserted pictures of the people that were talking for convenience sake.
The reason it is so important to create transcripts for projects and interviews is because it allows us to simply view the videos written down on a page as opposed to having to physically view each video again and again. We can simply pick and choose the most important parts of the interview rather than having to watch each interview and watching a lot of irrelevant material.

Something we agreed on doing the next time we have to create a Vox Pop transcript was to ask the interviewees their name on camera, so that we wouldn't have to screenshot the people in the future.
