Documentary Interview

Documentary Interview Transcription is the transcription of interviews featured in documentaries. It may also include the transcription of simple one on one interviews of personalities , which then take on the form of a chronicle of the personality?s life together with all the archival material depicting his life or work. Our Documentary Interview Transcription service also includes news footage transcription and reality show footage transcription.

A documentary is a kind of visual media genre that attempts to portray reality or inform about an issue. Documentaries are also created for infotainment in the form of docu-drama series. The financing of documentaries usually comes from independent documentary makers and government coffers, unlike the production of movies by big studios. The reason for that is very simple. Movies cater to popular tastes and hence enjoy a huge audience. Movies from Hollywood tend to have viewers from around the world. The profit motive for movies goads the production houses to pump in millions of dollars into their production. On the contrary, documentaries rank low on the entertainment quotient. They are meant to inform the viewers about the prevailing reality. Its core audience comes from the intellectual class and some enthusiastic members of the movie making fraternity. The most entertaining of docu-dramas rarely go beyond being prime time TV shows.

  Time Stamping/Coding

Time Stamping is a critical requirement in Television program based transcription needs. According to the customer specification, we satisfy different time stamping standards.

* Frequency of time coding,

* Audio time code style,

* Subjective time stamping etc

  B-Roll

B-Roll is an extra footage that can be used to illustrate the main story-line. Example: If a person is talking about a new school, the B-roll will include video of the new school. Most of the Television documentary and reality shows require transcription of the extra footage with simple narration. This will give good reading experience to the story readers.

Scenarios of Reality Footage You have footage of a chef preparing a dish in a very busy kitchen studio. He is conversing with the staff, preparing dishes, talking to his personnel, etc. You are shooting a reality TV show and want the 'non-interview' part of the material transcribed. We are specialists in B-Roll transcription and we consistently attempt to identify each person speaking and transcribe brief descriptions of what is happening. The descriptions are general and it gives the reader of the transcript an idea of what is happening. Note: This is not B-Roll Logging service. Irrelevant audios like the video production crew interacting about technical occurrences will not be transcribed Example: 'Lights On' 'Move that light over here.' or 'Ok, let see if we can get the air conditioner turned off.')
