Dubbing

In my opinion, dubbing has been recognized as a really lucky experience for anime fans such as me, which is why this is my personal favorite blog to write. Additionally, it was nerve-racking to perform in front of others, and the room was eerily quiet save for my raspy voice, which was recorded at a very low volume and hardly made any range. I was blown away! Should I be yelling at the top of my lungs just to get a standard queue? Even though I'm still not happy with the work I did, I had to give it up for a while and cope with it. Additionally, since dubbing was always the goal, we instructed the actors to do so. Since some of my friends have lower voices than mine, I was worried about how they would react if I couldn't perform properly. We all made a lot of takes and ended when the teachers and actors were satisfied.

First Cut

  Lastly, the blog serves as the actual main point of the most recent ones. I had to make sure there was no wasted space or mismatched audio for a clean cut because I was experiencing problems overlaying audio clips and creating sound motifs when I first started editing. Subsequently, I discovered that the main character's placement is so blatantly incorrect when he opens the door and in the following shot that we were forced to reshoot it. Since I basically have nothing more to say than what I've said in practically every blog, this one is shorter than my usual ones.

Script Breakdown

  Since I have used the same concept for every blog, I am at a loss for things to write, but perhaps I might try to make this as descriptive as I can. I can begin by having us decide on which props are required and whether we need to write a letter of permission to our principal. To be honest, we didn't require many props, and it got simpler for us to continue making the movie. The characters were allowed to wear casual clothing that they would wear while hanging out with friends, so we weren't very picky about their attire. There is a lot of baggage with our work because the setting we used was solely inside the school. Fortunately, we were able to capture everything on a single day and in the evening. Even though the reshooting incident was unanticipated, we were able to handle it.

Understanding Script Format

To be really honest, it took me a while to learn this because I didn't understand head or tail; thus, I started out having to look at a lost map. Using Fade In to reword the script made it easier for me to understand, and I developed a greater appreciation for the scriptwriters because they bear a heavy weight and the entire production literally depends on them. Even while the scripts aren't always precise, some authors go over and above to make the work of the editors and cinematographers easier by indicating the shot or transition.    

Behind-the-scenes

To be honest, we weren't paying much attention to bloopers, but it kept happening, and we have a heap of behind-the-scenes footage. I'll admit that I contributed to it as well since I couldn't stop laughing when they began reciting lines; it was as if they were being kept captive and reciting the lines straight from a script. However, we had to be the ones to stop laughing because we were taking our work seriously.

Actual Shoot

Although the day of filming was enjoyable, the weather is the one thing I would change. It was scorching hot enough to melt your brains and completely against us. Surprisingly, scenes three and two were the easiest to shoot, and we finished them practically at six. However, scene one extended our time at school and gave us a fresh perspective of my school because the hallways were dark and the lights flickered. Although including it would have been a smart idea, it would have been a sudden insert shot that caused confusion; therefore, I've learned my lesson for the next project.
