Dubbing workshop evaluation.

For this workshop me and Ali who I was working with had to find a scene from a movie or TV show and mute out all the sound. After we had deleted the sound, we re recorded all of the dialogue with our own voices and placed it over the characters that were talking in the scene. For this workshop, the main thing that we had to focus on was the timing and technical accuracy the lip syncing and editing. Most of the editing was done by Ali and he had to focus a lot on making sure that all of the recordings matched up with the two different characters within the scene. The computer software that we used to record our voices reading from the script from the scene was iMovie on one of the college's MacBooks. We recorded the script using this software and we also used the same software to place the recording over the scene and edit it so that the timing all matches. The area that me and Ali recorded in was one of the radio rooms. We decided to use this room because it didn't have any background sound to interrupt the recording and final outcome of the whole thing. The first thing I would say that went well with this workshop was being able to record the whole script quite quickly. The recording went well because it only took a few takes and was very simple to carry out. What went wrong i that we missed some things in our recordings such as deep breaths and sounds from characters that we had forgotten to record. The thing that I would do different if I was to do this again is that I would include all of the things that we missed.

Voiceover Workshop Evaluation

For this workshop we had to record our own voiceover which we then added over a scene from the film Children of MenFirst of all I wrote the script on Microsoft Word and the device that we used to record the voiceover was an iPhone 7. We used the voice memos app and the internal mic built into the iPhone was used as we didn't attatch an external microphone to the device. We created the voiceover to portray what the main character Theo was thinking at different points during the film. I think that the voiceover we created was effective because we were able to clearly express what Theo was feeling. The voiceover also created further suspense into the scene. I think that one of the things that went well was how quickly we were able to get everything recorded and placed into the computer so that we could edit it. In our group I was the person that wrote the script and decided which seconds in the clip, Ali then recorded his voice reading out the script with different tones for each of the sentenced to make sure that it added meaning to the scene and made it feel as if it was actually coming from Theo. The location where we recorded our script was at the bottom of one of the staircases in the college. This was a good location for us to record because it was a quiet setting and when we recorded, an echo affect was created which I think worked well with the clip. After we had finished recording the whole script, we sent the recording to our emails so that we could transfer it to the computer to begin editing it. The software that we used to edit our recording so that we could match it up to the correct times in the clip was Garageband. Ali was in control of the editing and he was able to put each part of the recording in the correct/matching part of the correlating clip. Next time if I was to this again I would make the script longer and include a lot more detail in it.
