The Radio Advert

Last lesson I had a look at Elliott's draft of a radio advert script and re-wrote it with some of my own ideas. I then used an 'Easi-Speak' microphone to record a rough version of the speaking parts that will not be sound clips from the actual documentary. I uploaded my voice recording and put it into GarageBand where I had to triple it up because, although it sounded a reasonable volume through headphones, it was too quiet.


This lesson I have extracted important sound files from our documentary and transferred them onto my memory stick. However. Last lesson I used a MacBook Pro to create the radio advert and everything was absolutely fine. This lesson the MacBook Pros seem to be working at a ridiculously slow pace and refuses to take any faster than an hour to upload the sound clips. Hopefully this will be fixed by next lesson..........

Cutaway Filming

On Tuesday I went out with a camera and filmed a church near school to be used as cutaways. I filmed a few slow angle pan shots that travelled up the front of the church and then filmed it from other sides and different angles. Luckily it was quite a nice day so the sky looked pleasant and not gloomy. These small cutaway shots will be useful for breaking up very long and wordy interviews and making them visually more interesting.

Storyboard

We have finally scanned in our rough storyboard, drawn in pen and ink it reads from left to right.
There are a few blank boxes where we are a little unsure about what to include, but this will be changed as we progress in our editing.
