Recording the voice over

The final part of construction is the voice over. We left this until last because it is easier to work around the footage as opposed to working around the voice over. 

The tools we used were:

• 2 Macbooks; 1 for watching the video, 1 for displaying the script 
• 1 iPhone 5s for the Voice Memo 
• 1 pair of Apple Earphones (built in microphone)

By viewing the trailer on one Macbook, James, Chandler and I were able to time the cues for pauses and when I should start recording my voice. Having the script on the other Macbook helped to remind me of the lines in case I forgot the words. 

The process involved recording more than one take so we could pick the best version to put in our film trailer. From my phone, I attached the voice memos to an email and sent them to my school email. We downloaded the clips and imported them onto Premiere. We used the razor cut tool to divide the voice memo into pieces which made it easier to place the voice over in the right sections.
