Many people like to have interview transcripts for documentaries. These are generally text based people who want to cut and paste the text of interviews as a means of “picking clips”.
In terms of film making I find this a way of discovering one third of what was said.
Newspaper article:
1. Words said.
Radio Program
1. words said
2. How it sounds
Film
1. words said
2. how it sounds
3. what their eyes are saying.
I’m still a bit baffled at films being made by transcript.
