Progress Report - Part 5 (Actors Overvoice recordings)

Thomas Allison 0051

During one of our lessons we spent about half of it preparing for one of our actors Becca to perform a voice over. This involved using the sound recording equipment in a professional set up within our Media centre at college to record her voice saving the clips to the computer. To begin with Becca (actor)was given the script we created to practice. This was important to help the seriousness and codes and conventions of our production. The words had to be said with a sad and serious tone, with a slow tempo. This brief lasted 10 minutes, we stated that she must leave a 2 second gap between each line in order for me (the editor) to cut them out and match them to our trailer. One problem we experience at this time was unwanted noice coming through the microphone and projecting into our clips. This was resolved by balancing out the frequencies and experimenting with sound levels. We recorded approximatly 5 recordings of the script to make sure we get it right and have no need to do it again. Overall this went really well, it did not take much time and my media experienced has expanded as I have never participated in this before.
