Back to Editing - 12th January 2010

After a mass of Snow days we finally returned to editing our pieces. With all our filming done, and the new sound dubbed, fitting in with the footage, we continued with our to do list. The first thing on the agenda was to record our voice over. We found, after recording sound last year, that it was better to use a camera to record sound rather than an MP3 recorder, which failed to work a number of times. We had previously asked Nathan, a member of one of the other Media groups, if he wouldn't mind doing the voice over for our film, to which he had agreed.
During the lesson, as Nathan had none, we went to a quiet corridor - so the background noise was different to the sounds recorded outside - and began reading the lines from the script, making sure to do at least two takes of each line. After having done so, we returned to the IT suite and put the sound, with the footage, onto Adobe Premiere and picked the particular recording that sounded best. We cut the video and moved the audio to the place it belonged.
Whilst filming we incurred some problems that meant we had to leave out a certain scene, therefore meaning that we could not use some of the intended voice over as it did not now fit.
