Once I had these three interviews done, I turned the MP4 files into MP3 in order to get rid of the image and only keep the audio to edit afterwards. I listened back to the recordings and I felt proud and happy with the outcome. Although I didn’t want to edit them much because the essence and the authenticity that somehow were attached to them would get lost on the way, I had to work on them a bit in order to delete some background noise, long silences or overlapping content.
Moreover, I wanted to add an intro to the series. I started researching some music I could use for a few seconds at the beginning of the episodes and I recorded myself introducing the podcast, the guests and closing every episode. I had to repeat the content in front of the camera a few times because it wasn't fluent nor natural.
Once I had this content recorded, I repeated the MP4 into the MP3 process so I would have all the content ready to be edited. Finally, I was ready to get myself familiar with the editing programme.
