Week 11 - Presentation & Post Production
Hours: 3hrs
We were focusing a lot on the presentation when we met up.
Peter was in an accident last Wednesday - so things have been a bit hard for him to get around, so Kim, Kall and I worked without him at Kall's place and we had a short MSN conference with him. :)
We discussed what we needed for the presentation: processes, client, proposed story/narrative.
I wrote down key points to cover and we split the presentation into three sections: Client, Story, Success & Failures. Each section, we surmised, can take about 5 minutes, approximately, though as it looks the third section will probably take the bulk of our presentation - but we'll see once we meet up to do a rehearsal.
I typed up my notes and sent it off to everyone to have a look at and find a foundation in which to work on their talk.
Kim and I worked on my computer that I lugged over to Kall's so we had a template of the powerpoint...
Kall seems to have a change of heart regarding the voice-over, something I was quite surprised about seeing that I originally thought that I would have to fight her tooth and nail over it - did you say something Ruben? :p
Maybe she just thought that my friend's voice (Roz) wasn't so cheesy after all.
It was pretty good, quite dramatic in parts - though Kim thought that it was a bit too 'soft', in the sense that it was too quiet, too peaceful.
I thought it was perfect poetic irony.
Though I would have wished that it could have been a little more bitter, angsty.
Still. I think it will work.
As for a music score - eep. I'm still working on it.
Maybe we can use some stock, free sounds (freeplaymusic.com) but I would like to try some composing, though of course we run into a lot of issues there with quality.
Speaking of which: I'm real surprised how good the quality of the sound in the voice-over came out. It was quite fantastic. I have to pick up a copy from her coz she made it into a music cd and we couldn't rip it properly and get the original.
I just discussed it with Roz - she has simply burnt the cd from her home studio not a computer... so it just makes audio cds from what I can gather. What she does to get it from the studio to the computer is ripping it off the cd as mp3s using Windows Media Player.
I thought it would be nicer to have a WAV file - but I'm thinking that its going to be hard to access it off her system.
We had a few troubles with ripping at Kall's - it ripped as a WMA but it was just noise when we had a look at in in Audition.
Nevertheless - I have organized to meet up with her on Friday, but its back to attempt ripping.
Maybe there's a program that can get a WAV file?
Though I suppose mp3 is CD quality.
As for the music score: I wonder if we can get away with just the voice over and some sound effects in the back...?
