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.
