So today myself and Emily attended a workshop session where we both learnt how to set up a stereo pair of microphones, ready for when our actors come into the studio. Also, our first draft of the script was submitted and we’ve received feedback already, which means we can begin working on the next draft and hopefully finish that off soon.
As for our actors, we have a person in mind to play our vicar, and Emily is speaking to a man who is interested in playing the role of Frank, the bereaved dad. Hopefully we’ll get these casted soon, as well as our two ‘whisperers,’ ready to record in the studio next Friday!
Myself and Emily also took a very windy trip up to the Bailgate Methodist Church in Lincoln in order to record some sound effects using a Marantz. I have a copy of the sounds on my laptop, which I shall back up for security reasons, and listen to them with my headphones in a short while to check that the quality is satisfactory.
The next thing we both need to do is apply for a weeks extension, in order to give us some breathing space when it comes to the editing!
