Evaluation Activity 3

What kind of institution might describe your media product and why?

Here, you can listen to a 'Directors Commentary' which our group created. We were finding it difficult to decide on a time where we would all be available to record this and at first we decided that we could record it individually and then cut and edit it all together. Eventually we settled on a date in which we were all free and we began recording.
Initially it was very difficult as we had never recorded anything using a Marantz voice recorder and we soon became aware how sensitive it was and that a noise from another room could be picked up by it.
We did alot of takes and we knew we had to do alot of editing so eventually we drafted a rough script which we could follow and we managed to record it in one take which meant that hardly any editing had to be done.

This type of institution might describe our media product because it is becoming ever more common for directors to include the option for their audience to listen to their film with a voiceover of what each frame, camera angle, prop, positioning, setting etc may indicate or signify.

As a group i think we did very well to record the voice over in one take after much deliberation. It was a very satifying and new experience which we all enjoyed and would now be more aware of how to approach it were we to do a voice over in any future projects.
