TRAILER: Recording Day 3

Today me and my partner Anika stayed after school in order to complete our radio trailer and make some modifications to the previous version we created in our second recording day.



One of the major changes we had to make was to re-record the dialogue from our movie, used in our trailer, since the audio wasn't clear enough because of the noise in the background. In order to do this we had to schedule this recording session according to the times our main actress was available. Unfortunately the actor whose voice is also heard in the trailer could not make it because as an external student, he wasn't  able to come when the studio was available to us.

An additional change we made was to apply the sound effects I found on the incompetech website, onto our trailer. Previously the radio trailer only had one background track and a few sound effects, so I decided to find other royalty free sounds in order to make my trailer sound more interesting and intense.

Another change we made was to add silence after the character says:"dead!", so that the echo applied to that word can be heard slowly fading away and act as a smooth transition between one sound track to the other. In addition to this, this silence also offers the audience a tension reliever, a calm before the storm.

Besides finishing off our radio trailer, we also used this opportunity to re-record the dialogue from the last scene in the movie. We needed to record this lines again because they turned out too quite as a result of us not turning on the correct microphone. This resulted in the scene losing some of its impact, which is very important especially since it is at the end of the film. In addition to this the lines pun the name of the character.Her surname is lucky and the killer asks her if she is feeling lucky before killing her, causing it to seem ironic.
