Our Voiceover

This is our voiceover. We produce a script and sent this to the voice-over artist. The script contained the speech, pronunciations of some words we thought he may struggle to read and the durations between each sentence.


When we received the file it had been sent as a MP3 at the best quality (320kbps). We was sent two voice files and listened to both and then came to a decision on which one we will be happy using in our advert. I believe the one we chose (see below) sounded more professional and clear which would make it suitable for using it in a TV advert.


The editing software we are going to use to edit our adverts is Adobe After Effects. This is a more advanced software package offering a wider variety of transitions, animations, effects which can all be used to enhance and make our advert more appealing to our target audience. We will use this program to edit the voiceover and use the timeline to ensure the speech is on the right shot.

Second Storyboard

Fo our second advert, we drew out a second storyboard. The storyboard will tell us exactly what is going to be in each shot on our advert. We wanted a voice-over for our advert, and using the storyboard would help us create a script to give to the voice-over artist. Creating a storyboard will allow us to check over each shot and quickly add or change anything if necessary. Using the storyboard helped us to be more creative as it gave us a visual illustration to what our advert might look like when complete. It gave us more ideas which can be used to improve the overall quality of our advert so that it looks professional and appeals to our target audience.

The storyboard contains what the shot will look like, the duration of each shot, transitions between each shot, animations for each shot and the type of shot.

Voiceover

We decided to buy a professional voice-over from Fiverr.com because it not only makes our a TV advert sound good, it makes it professional. It was also relatively cheap and this made it suitable and fulfilled our purpose. We both agreed on buying one each as we have to produce two advertisements and thought it would be best to include a voiceover in both of our advertisements to ensure consistency and professionalism.

We browsed through and listened to a number of voice-over artists and in the end chose the artist below.

After we had chosen, we used Word to produce a script which was to be sent to the artist and we based this off what we had written on our storyboards.

We placed the order on the 8 January 2016 and should arrive 11 January 2016 and once we receive the voice-over we will sync this up against our storyboard video to give us an idea on how it will sound.
