B-Roll
..................................................................................................................................
B-Roll is an extra footage that can be used to illustrate
the main story-line. Example: If a person is talking about
a new school, the B-roll will include video of the new school.
Most of the Television documentary and reality shows require
transcription of the extra footage with simple narration.
This will give good reading experience to the story readers.
Scenarios of Reality Footage
- You have footage of a chef preparing a
dish in a very busy kitchen studio. He is conversing with
the staff, preparing dishes, talking to his personnel, etc.
- You are shooting a reality TV show and
want the 'non-interview' part of the material transcribed.
We are specialists in B-Roll transcription
and we consistently attempt to identify each person speaking
and transcribe brief descriptions of what is happening. The
descriptions are general and it gives the reader of the transcript
an idea of what is happening. Note: This is not B-Roll Logging
service. Irrelevant audios like the video production crew interacting
about technical occurrences will not be transcribed Example:'Lights
On' 'Move that light over here.' or 'Ok, let see if we can get
the air conditioner turned off.'
