Re-shooting problems & Voiceover/Music

Our original plan was to do our last 2 re-shoot last week, however we had to prospone this to the following week due to problems that kept occurring on the days that we wanted to film. We were originally going to film on Tuesday, however the weather was so bad that we couldn't film the re-shoots because the rain was too heavy meaning that the shots would have been completely different to the shots that we already have. Due to our failure in re-shooting, we used our time to continue editing our sequence.

After Tuesday's shooting being a disaster, we planned to film either Wednesday or Thursday, however due to drama rehearsals and exams, we couldn't find a time in which one of our actors was free at the same time as us, therefore we had to again cancel the session and arrange to film the following week.

Rather than wasting time waiting for the re-shoots to be completed, me and Hannah decided to move forward with our advert by experimenting with the voice over and music. We searched the Internet to find suitable music for our advert. It is important that the music fits with the pace of the advert, as well as give a light hearted feel to it. We also do not want to use too many lyrics within the advert, however we may have instrumental and lyric parts to the song due to our advert not having much diegetic sound. Two of our favourites so far which we have experimented have been Scouting for girls-Heartbeat and The ting tings-be the one. We are in the process of searching for more love related songs.

In addition to this we tried adding a voice over to the 'jingle' part of our advert. Using the Edirol we recorded people saying our 'jingle' and then transferred it onto the Mac's and put it as audio against the sequence. We had some problems when doing this, because the pace in which some of the people were saying the jingle did not match the action. Even though we can edit this on the macs, we made the recording process easier for our volunteer voice overs by showing them the advert as they say the jingle. This allows them to understand the pace a lot better, meaning that the way they say the jingle is much clearer and understandable. Our favourite voice so far is that of Mr Michie and Atia. The voice over fits well for a first attempt, except for the part right at the end which will need a bit of editing. We are still going to try a variety of voices and pick the best one. We want to have the same person for all three adverts, so we have to make sure that whoever we choose is easy to get hold of when we need them.
