On the 20th of April, last Friday, we attempted to record the monologue and the footsteps for our film trailer - the last thing we need to do for it to be finished. At first we wanted to record it in one of the exam rooms of sixth form so that we would have complete and utter silence, however the room turned out to have too much echo. We were using a microphone that Daniel owned, but it wasn't very good and picked up lot's of static. We moved to the social area of sixth form (which is currently empty due to the exam period, as students are spending their social time in the study area). The microphone still picked up a lot of static and it was difficult to record without people walking in and ruining it. We got the best take we could, but later discovered that it was't good enough to go onto the trailer as the sound was distorted by background noise.
Today we decided to try to record the monologue once more, this time in the drama hall where we had previously filmed the villain's walking scene, and instead of using Daniel's microphone we recorded the monologue on his Apple iPhone 4S, which turned out to be a lot better at picking up sound and the static levels weren't as bad. It took us many attempts but we finally recorded it. We then recorded the sound of Scott walking across the stage to use as our footsteps sound effect at the end of the trailer.
