14/01/2016- Re-recording

 Re-recording
Today we had a two hour media lesson timetabled in our scheduled but in order to maximize time we decided that part of what we wanted to achieve today would be done at lunch time. We asked our actor Evan (who plays Oliver) to come in and re record parts of the audio for our opening sequence. This is because the original sound is quite quiet and muffled in places which takes away effectiveness. We tried to avoid this from happening on our day of filming by using an actual microphone which we plugged into the camera rather than just relying on the audio picked up by the camera but despite our best efforts this didn't work. He can in to re record the part where he sings the childrens nursery rhyme 'daisy, daisy' and the word 'daisy' at the very end of the sequence where he opens the door. To do this, we used a hand held microphone and an iphone voice recorder just to compare the quality and went into the studio where it was quiet and Evan could concentrate. At first the audio Evan recorded today didn't match up with the original clip as lip syncing is hard but he soon grasped how to do it and we got what we needed. We secondly recorded ourselves and some of our peers saying words like 'missing', 'not found' and other words you would hear in news reports about a missing person to add into the audio when Oliver is walking down the corridor and we will add the effect 'Special distorted' to the clips using Adobe Sound-booth.
