In order to make up for the lost sound, it was decided that we would bring the actors into the tv studios in order to record ADR for their in the scenes with missing audio. We used the sound booth and I was in charge of setting up the sound equipment. This was relatively easy as I had already researched how to use the equipment in preparation for this. I simply had to connect the microphone to my own laptop and make sure the microphone was being picked up via the switchboard. I then used a program called audacity to record the audio itself. I oversaw the recording with Will. Callum was also supposedly 'supervising' us, which I found impressive considering he was in a completely different room not doing much at all. He then left anyway to no-one's surprise.
We first recorded the ADR for Ralph's hallucination. The actor watched the footage previously captured during the shoot week and attempted to perform the lines in sync with the footage. After a few attempts we got the audio we were happy with and we proceeded to get voice over work for when the characters are having conversations in their head.
The last voice overs we captured were for the voices of the flowers that appear to talk to Ralph during his hallucination. We had already got these but they were lost along with the other audio. Therefore we got one of our fellow students to be provide the voice for one of the two flowers. As there were not many people around, I ended up filling the role of the second flower. Both of us but on over the top accents which will hopefully add to the comedy of the scene.
Now it will be a case of trying to match the ADR to the scenes with the missing audio to see if we can avoid having to reshoot the scenes. This will be my responsibility when I am eventually given the opportunity to work on the audio overall once there is a rough edit available.
