hey allan, i love your vids! was only wondering and slightly curious, do you normally use voice overs or is there no need for that? and the sound effects too? only curious, thanks in advance.

@cardsandpoems Hey, thanks!

Could you be a little more specific? What do you mean by voice overs? Do you mean like a non-diegetic narration of the story to the audience-breaking-the-fourth wall kinda thing, or what?

also, what do you mean by sound effects? Please be more specific!

Thanks!

@allanhagen Hey, sorry well im a complete idiot at cinematography. (but i am a drama student so i actually get what your talking about ;)

Basically I originally got interested off from your cardistry channel and ended up watching probably all your vids on this channel too. And no, not a breaking down the fourth wall kinda thingbut dialogue in general, for example the dialogue in this vid, is that raw? or are those redone with a mic of some sort?

[allanhagen]

@cardsandpoems Ah! I understand. Well. This audio-aspect has, in fact, nothing to do with cinematography. Cinematography only constitutes the visual part - what's being done with the camera itself. I wasn't the editor nor the sound designer nor the audio recorder on this film - so I honestly cannot tell what's real and what's not - but the dialogue elements are from the set.

@allanhagen also for example when Line closes the door as she enters the house is that from the raw footage? or is that a recorded sound? and generally in film is it a mixture of these or generally all recorded? anyhow thanks! i basically am hooked in film and in a way inspired by your vids! thats why I am so interested and wanted to know!

Cheers!

@cardsandpoems If I remember correctly, the dialogue was recorded with two lavalier radio mics and a shotgun mic on a boom pole on-set, run via a 3channel mixer that syncs with the camera. The door is a combination of a sound we recorded and something that happened in the shot. Generally in film it's a mixture - but usually, only dialogue is used from the actual take, and everything else is added in post like footsteps, doors etc.

@cardsandpoems I do remember one thing, though. The girl who rings the doorbell (the doorbell was added in post), that we never see - her voice was added in post production. It was dubbed using the same kind of microphones we had on set in a small room with very little acoustics so that we could make it sound just right in post. I don't think it works 100%, but a lot of people probably won't notice.
