Voiceover!

So since my group is pretty much set on doing a voice over I spent my time today researching how to create a voice over in general. You can't create a voice over if you don't know how right?

You see, we can probably try to work with iMovie and figure out how to do a voice over, but its more about how to do it well. Then I came across this video and it solved all my problems.

In the video they say that the first step is a suitable place to set up all ur equipment for the voice over. This is such a minor problem for us because we have each found a suitable place in each of our houses that we can use, my garage, Sam's garage, and Camila's room. Thats a plan a, b, and c! Now once we officially have a place to set up shop we are going to need heavy drops and backdrops to even further minimize the noises. This can be anything from a heavy sheet to closing the door to make sue that we block out all sound. Our voice over is going to be such an important part of our video that we cannot have background noise making it sound cheap. There is a feature on IMovie that we are going to use that helps enhance voiceovers but that is more of a touch up.

We also need to learn how to sound dampen however I was so beyond confused as to what that is but it is just minimizing the echo in your set up place which we are going to do with the heavy sheets and such.

One thing i didn't even think of was a microphone! What are we even going to record our voiceover on? Upon asking some friends we found someone who would love to lend us his microphone which can be plugged into a laptop and all sounds can be downloaded. However we are more set on just using the voice memo feature on our iPhones because it can easily be transferred from our phones to iMovie and will have no transferring issues. So A MUCH SAFER BET!
