Since there weren't many people to help me during the actual filming process I needed people to do a voiceover for certain clips.
I needed to do a voice-over of Olivia reading her diary, this was pretty easy since I did it by myself. I checked out a phone lav from my TV production class, and I recorded it on voice memos on my phone inside my closet so I could get the best quality audio that had no background noise. I just read the script I had previously written.
After doing my part things got a little harder because I had to rely on other people. I needed a man and a woman to play Olivia's parents and I also needed someone to play the teacher. So for the parents, I texted my classmate Gabi because I know her parents, so I gave them a set of lines to do. And they said YES!!
When they sent it back it was perfect and just what I needed. So I added it to the timeline. Since I wanted to make it sound like it was coming from the room next to Olivia I added the same effect I added to the music.
When adding these audio clips I made sure to make the sound quiet when she put her headphones back on.
After doing the parents scene I had to do the teacher scene. I had first asked my friend Zain to ask her mom to do it. She had said yes and Zain said she would send it.
After waiting a day... she didn't send it to me. I then asked my friend who also helped me film Mateo. I asked him to do a deeper voice to sound older.
Although it's not exactly who I wanted to do it I think he did a good job of sounding older and like a teacher. For his audio when I added it to the timeline I did not make it sound like it was coming from a different room since you could see Olivia and the teacher's shoulder.
I think the hardest part of the project was relying on other people. The technicals is not hard because its something I enjoy doing, but when it comes to getting other people's help something always goes wrong, i think everything is a learning experience and makes me want to do another project like this.
