In my pursuit of a Diploma of Screen and Media at Swinburne University of Technology, I undertook an inspiring project: an assembly edit of 'Three Minute Portrait of Vince McIntyre'. This project was not just an assignment for my 'Edit Complex Screen Productions' subject; it was a journey into the life of Vince McIntyre, a Canadian farmer whose existence is deeply rooted in his post-war Irish heritage.
My Approach and Challenges
Converting a 30-minute interview into a compelling 3-minute narrative posed a significant challenge. Vince's deliberate speech and the richness of his story required me to be both creative and judicious in my editing choices. I focused on preserving the emotional essence of his story while ensuring a clear and engaging narrative flow.

My proficiency with Adobe Premiere Pro was pivotal in this project. I used a combination of technical skills and a keen sense of storytelling to select the most impactful footage. Incorporating relevant b-roll was crucial in creating an immersive experience, allowing the viewers to connect more deeply with Vince's world.
