Tues 13th Nov- Acting
Today i managed to gather up some of the actors from the acting course. i breifed them on what i wanted done and showed them the story lines and some clips from movies so they could get an idea of how they were ment to act. it seemed to go really well as they all seemed confident and followed what i wanted them to do. I hopefully will be able to add effects like echoing on in Final Cut. I will also add in ambient noises of the caves like water dripping and noises from there feet. In doing this it should hopefully bring it all together and make it sound realistic. So my next task is to capture it all in to Final Cut and start editing. I want to have something done by thurs so i can show Ant and he can give me his opinion. One thing i learnt with the audio is that you have to be aware of everything going on as the camera picks up on everything as one of the girls had a glass in her hand and her earrings kept tapping against them which ment i couldnt use those clips as you wouldnt hear the sounds of glass in a cave which is a real shame as it was one of the best vocally.
Things which are left to do are collect up some rocks to put inside my cave, glue them in. Attach the hand to the box so when people put there hand in it grabs them. I need to experiment a bit more with different gewy things i can put in the box. So hopefully my audio will be all sorted this week and i can focus on making the environments more real.
The latex head finally dried and feels really good, i also attached a pole to go over the box for the webcam to hang from. I made this detachable so its easy for moving around. So now i can place my camera above the box and set it up so when you put your hand in a box it triggers of the sounds.
