Editing Interviews

This shift was more based around production work. I had to edit an interview down to 10 minutes, which was originally about 13 minutes. Matthew Ross had Marc-Olivier Brouillette on the show to talk about the Alouettes offseason news, and to upload one clip to youtube for the show's blog, I had to cut the interview down. Matthew told me that the CFL on TSN twitter feed will post the interview, so it was important for me to make sure the edited version of the interview sounded good. The edited version is available to listen to on the show's blog. It reminded me a little of JOUR 330 when we would have to edit down an interview we'd conducted to about two minutes. The challenge here was to edit someone else's, which is a little more difficult, because I wouldn't know what his preferences to be. I've posted it and Matthew told me I did a great job with it, not cutting out anything important and maintaining the integrity of the interview despite cutting out three minutes. It provides some satisfaction that I was able to do the job well that he asked of me. On my latest shift, I had to do the usual, scouring sports sites for breaking news, score updates and researched recent Habs stats, which I provided on air at Matthew's request. I also helped him in his research for the Brouillette interview, looking through what he's done recently, and things of that nature. This coming Tuesday, I will be in studio a little earlier to cut clips from the Habs game that day and have them ready for the show.
