Sound and the voice overs....music

The final stages of the film were making all the sound work properly, that involved using the sounds recording externally on the Marantz as well as the sound recorded with all the footage we shot. This was our sound man Rico job and he was more than well equipped for it as he had plenty of sound equipment as well as a sound proof booth for us to record the voice overs in.

The next step after the sound was perfect was to re write the voice over to fit perfectly with the new edited film, we did this together and then went to Rico to record it in the booth, it wasn't as easy as expected and had to be redone a few times before we got the desired sound we wanted. even after we had the perfect cut the sound had to reverberated and edited to sound as it should. unfortunately we had to to the voice overs ourselves which wasn't ideal but we weren't able to get the people we needed.



The use of music within the film was a late decision and was to help carry the emotional feeling of the character through the final stages of the film. I think it was vital as the voice over ends at the midway point of the film and we need the music to continue the narrative of the characters mind state.
We hear the song for the first time in the barbers shop but its a different version to the more powerful and emotional version By Dobie Gray which we then later use as a non diegetic sound to amplify the characters emotions.
