Week 10

This week I began to work on the audio of both tracks since audio is really important in documentaries with a high production value similar to the Netflix series we studied in our research stage such as Unsolved Mysteries.
​
One problem that I faced is using my grandad for the role of chuck, although he looks the part, when it came to recording the voice over, he struggled to read the script and didn't sound that dramatic but also because he struggled to read it, it sounded kind of scripted.
​
Due time constraints we decided the best way to deal with it is to hire a voice actor to dub him, which worked out well even if the voice didn't match because it kind of added to the whole 'witness protection' feeling we were going for with the silhouette.
Once that was done I matched it to the video which gave a nice hook for the viewer and let nicely into Milo's part which was an interview with him.
I added a low frequency rumble to when he spoke to add some kind of impact to what he was saying. I was watching this interview with Hans Zimmer once about how music can change meaning to film and one of the things he spoke about was how you can feel moved by what's going on in a film when the frequency of the music is actually physically moving you, so bass is extremely important within our project.
