The Voiceover

During the final week of editing we realised a few of our shots were lacking neccesary audio to anchor our storyline. To get around this we decided to film a voice over for these tracks using Lewis and a friend as actors.


To make the voiceover realistic we decided we would have to record the audio within a similar enviroment to where the video took place so we headed to the far corner of the school field to get the same ambient wind and bird song in the background. We also filmed the shot from different distances CU, MCU and LS as these were the distances within the video were we wanted the audio to cut in. These varying distances would hopefully make the audio, when coupled with the video recording, sound realistic.

We decided to act out what we were doing when reading the script as to help get a sense of place and realism within our voices.
