Documentary Week 4 - Translating and Scripting

I was able to take the help from my mother and one of my friends to translate the parts of the interview I couldn't understand. It turned out there was about 25 minutes out of the 45 that was specific to the war and to freedom fighters. I met up with El and Petra and we sat down and went through the whole interview, picking out the most interesting parts and cutting it down to a minute and a half so it can be used in a trailer.

Interview first pass

After meeting up with Dotty who approved of our intention to make this an animated trailer, she advised us to compress it even further down to a minute. El and I went through the whole thing again and compressed it even further.

Interview second pass

I went home and added some random fact cards as well as a snippet of Sheikh Mujib's public speech and met up with the team later to run it by them. We also sat down and added some suggested visuals so we now have a script in video format.

Script

This has given everyone something to work with in the absence of a storyboard. The next step is getting the storyboards, but I know not to expect anything until the 502 module deadline is out of the way this week.
