Cojack Interview 9th October 2008


In our teams we devised an interview for one of the members of the Bath Spa band Cojack. We wanted it to be informal and chatty and were very pleased when Matt arrived and although he was a little nervous he settled into the interview quickly.

As the interview was 1+1 (one interviewer vs. one interviewee) it was important for us not to intimidate Matt and allow him to express his answers. Rich was interviewing and he instantly built up good report with Matt.

After a few technical hiccups were smoothed out we had about 9 mins of interview. I was pleased with this length as we had to cut it down to a 4 min package (meaning a 2:1 cutting ratio). I was able to edit the interview in a linear fashion and not remove too much so it flowed nicely and sounded rounded and complete.

After editing the interview down to the required length I built up a bed track using some of Cojack's tracks. I think that I am generally pleased with the outcome although I would like to go back and reedit so that the voice and the bed track are not fighting for position as they are sometimes in my edit!
