Premiere Pro Interview Compilation
Editing the interview on Premiere Pro and making sure it was easy to follow was a fundamental part of this process. I used their editing tools to crop and simplify the video’s structure, and had to translate the Italian to English and transcribe the English. I tried automatic translation tools online however they weren’t accurate so I ended up doing it myself and with some friends help.
I also combined the audio registrations I took while recording with the videos from my Canon camera. The interview ended up being an additional part of the project instead of the main part as it would just be for those who are curious to learn more about the dialect itself from local Sicilians.
