Opening- 1st Draft

This is our first draft of the opening. We still have a few small changes and improvements to adjust but its almost complete.

Music and Voiceover for Opening

Music

As a group, we explored different types of music and sound effects for our opening and comtemplated of whether to layer background noise with music or music with voiceover or background noise with displaying text etc...

We experimented in different ways which resulted us to choosing an upbeat, fast track to play over our 'voice of god'.We created our soundtrack by using Garageband which allowed us to mix different beats to create our desired music.

We were able to transfer our music to iMovie via Garageband and edited it into our opening making sure it started as soon as the clip starts till the end where it fades out before the titles appear, to ensure the opening seemed proffesional.

Voiceover

To complete our opening, we had to record our voiceover but before recording, we created a script of which had to be engaging for the viewers. This is important in order for viewers to want to watch the rest of the documentary and stay in interest.

We made sure it introduces our CCTV topic by presenting some shocking facts and statistics about cctv and summarise what the documentary will be about to make it as exciting as possible for viewers to want more.

We decided to use Cissie to be our 'voice of god' as she had the more clearer and presentable voice out of our group. We were able to record the voiceover in a quiet room using a proffesional microphone to ensure the clearest quality.

After some practise, we were able to perfect the lines of our opening then edited the recording straight into iMovie, making sure the balance between the background music and voiceover was adjusted by making the voiceover slightly louder.
