Editing Revisions 4 (Audience feedback)

Voiceover:

We experienced difficulties when syncing our voiceover moments to the shots on screen, especially the moment with the 'news announcement'. This moment was particularly difficult as we wanted it to look and sound professional, especially because it is easy for a news style presentation, as seen in many films, to come across as quite 'amateurish' and so we spent a lot of time recording different voices until we found one that worked with the overall style of our trailer and the one, which sounded most professional. Another difficult moment was in Act 2 whereby we wanted to employ a voiceover of our main protagonist talking about our main antagonist, whilst being overlaid over a shot of the antagonist walking to his car. This was difficult as I had to cut particular moments of speech apart, adjust sound levels and then place each sound bite specifically over the long shot in order to keep with the timing and pace (overall rhythm) of the trailer. Some of the small speech was completely cut out in order to achieve this aim of keeping to the rhythm of the trailer.

Audience feedback from our audiences suggested that the voiceovers at particular moments were not clear enough, thus explaining why we spent more time editing them (especially the news moment, which was certainly not clear enough).
