We met in a seminar room to record using a zoom recorder but Oli found that brayford radio room was free so we moved to there to use the  mic as we felt it might be better quality and a quieter room to record in. We where worried about the echo in the room and how it would sound on tape, but after listening back to the recording it sounded fine so we continued. We got her to record lines for the thug and the credits for our drama. Once Beth was happy we tired up and that was a wrap on our drama.

Today we met as a group and helped Oli record some of the Foley sounds for our drama. First we went to the TV studio as they had a large metal door that we thought would be a good sound for our drama, after asking permission, getting in to the studio and recording it we realized it didn’t give us the best sound so we decided to look someone else. while looking we found a small quiet room to record some of the clothes rustling sounds and bag dropping on the floor. With that done we went to my flat to record the sounds of plates and cutley. Afterwards we tested out my doors to see if it made the right sound for us. Oli decided he could probably find the sound online so we left it for now and just focused on the ones we could do. After finishing with the cutley we didn’t need any other sounds recording that day so called it a wrap. Later on i sent out another casting call for the role of wolves thug.

Today we went out to Greetwell Quarry with Red (Lucy) to film our trailer and record the first scene of the script as we wanted to do it on location to get the right ambiance. This also gave us a chance to get some of the foley sounds for the script like running in gravel. We met up with our actor who plays Red and got a taxi from campus to the quarry, as we where walking from the drop off point we found a nice little road that seemed post-apocalyptic so we recorded red walking down the road. When we got to the quarry we recorded her walking at different areas to cut together later. Our trailer is not going to be long as we plan on making it between 1-2 minutes. As media loans didn’t give us the proper equipment fully, we filmed the trailer on my Iphone as it had the highest quality. Afterwards we recorded the audio for the first scene, then we got foley sound of her running and walking on gravel. That was a wrap on Red.

This session was the last time we would be recording with Eddie so it was important to us that we get what takes we needed. Before the actors came into the studio we as a team sat down and listened to the recordings of all the previous takes and decided which ones we thought where good and which we would do again. The director decided we would run through it all again as a warm up for the actors because we noticed they needed to run through it first in order to get the best take. Then we will focus on scene 1, 2, and 3 as we felt there wasn’t enough passion in the previous takes. We got into the studio and set up, after our actors came in and got settled we went ahead with going through the script and recording it. I think it went well and we manage to get the last takes we needed, it was a wrap on Eddie.

We had our first recording with Red, who will be played by Lucy and Eddie in the same room at the usual time 6-9pm. We spent most of it as rehearsals so they could get use to bouncing off each other build up their chemistry together. We recorded all the takes just encase we got any we really liked. We ran through the whole script a couple of times to get them use to be in the studio together and having a person to bounce off of. I think it was a good session as we are thinking of using some of the takes we have in the drama. We still haven’t managed to find a male voice for our thug.
