The Opening Voiceover










After having finished editing the transitions, videos and music of the opening it was time to finish it by adding the voiceov
er. After discussing with the rest of my group we decided that having a presenter could be a possibility when filming later interviews. We therefore decided that keeping the same voice throughout the documentary would keep a sense of continuity and it would seem more professional. We chose to use group member Cissie as the narrator as she is the most well spoken of us all with the most mature voice.
We had never used the school's microph
one before so we decided to make the most of the macbook's applications and tested it in GarageBand. The microphone had a mode specifically for voiceovers as it is a Yeti microphone. After adjusting the volume and a few tests of how close to be to the mic we were happy with the quality of playback.
From previous research we had done on the subject of CCTV we had a script prepared for the opening. We added more than enough facts to this script incase it was the original length we had planned - 30 seconds.

The voiceover was recorded straight onto iMovie and after testing it with different timings and saying different parts of the script with different sections of the opening we found what we thought was best. The final voiceover is on the video of the opening sequence which is in the post above.
