Recording Audio

Abi and I decided that we should add some audio to our Thriller in order to build the storyline and to create tension. We came up with the idea of having a news report, informing the public of a supicious man and a girl that has been reported missing. We decided that the audio of the news report in the background of the video where the male character is forcefully pulling the female across the field, we chose to use this idea because we thought that it would help to build tension and create a sense of mystery, which would allow the audience to think for themselves about what is happening.

We began by writing the script for the audio.
The script:

"A young white male has been spotted carrying out suspicious activity in the Yorkshire region.
After the disappearance of three young girls earlier last week, Yorkshire police are now asking for anyone who has any information or intelligence to come forward."

We went into the Media studio to record the audio, because it is quiet. We used the Canon 700D to record the audio, we recorded a few times at first just to test how near or far we should be away from the camera for the quality of the audio to be good. I recorded the audio and Abi read the script. We were able to record a clear and realistic news report.

We then went back into the classroom to upload it and rename the files, so that once we had imported it to Adobe Premiere Pro we would know which order to put the clips in. Once I imported the clips we trimmed them to fit the video and ensured that we had placed it in the correct position.
