Technical Issues

We have begun the editing process of our trailer, due to the video camera's in which we are using aren't very good quality we have ran into some sound issues. We found the sound and speech of actors was very poor, quiet and low in quality. Purchasing better quality software is not an option for us, I'm afraid, as there is a very low/ hardly any media budget for our school. We are trying to work with the equipment we have and produce the best product we possibly can.

We have opted to use a technique called ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) in the editing process to allow a crisp and better quality of sound. We are using a Sennheiser headset with attached mic to record sound clips onto imovie and edit them into the appropriate clip. This is the first time we have ever attempted this but we're hopeful that it will give us a better end product.

As our actress was unavailable to attend our editing session, I am going to do the voice over for her instead. This will be more convenient as i will be at every editing session. There isn't a lot of dialogue in our Film Trailer so it won't be too much of a hindrance.
