November 2, 2009

We watched the first couple of minutes of Slip of the Tongue again this time paying attention to the cuts, shot duration, audio. The purpose of a second viewing was to discuss how it relates to planning your shoot using the logistics worksheet.

Moe Moe was ready to record her voice over narration so we went to the digital audio suite as a class for a recording demo. Monjaro is a DP audio graduate so he took the lead as our audio producer. We used ProTools to record .wav files that Moe Moe can import into Final Cut Pro (FCP) to use in her project.

Tips for recording your voiceover:

1. Have water handy in case you get thirsty
2. Place your script at eye level so you can face the mic directly and gaze up to read your script without moving.
3. If you make a mistake mid sentence. Stop, count to 3 and then continue from the beginning of the sentence instead of starting all over again.
4. Enunciate your words, speak clearly and slowly. There's a tendancy to read too fast.
5. Be careful when you turn the pages of your script. Pause and do it between sentences and not while you are speaking.
