Canada

This blog is about my trip to Canada from February till the end of July. The reason I have this blog is that my family/ friends and teachers can read what I have been up to.
I'll write about my preperations, flight, what I have learned at the internship company as well as any side trips.

Week 16 - Thursday: Day 77

When I got at work the other intern showed up as well. Haven't seen her in a while.
As she was learning stuff from the supervisor I worked on my blog again as i don't want to be behind.
I do have a better method now though, everyday I post keywords in the draft so I can just expand those short lines into a story.
I also re-rendered the video because I forgot to fade out the audio. I had no clue what task would come my way, but when I heard I had to guide the intern through voice acting I was nervous, but also excited.
She had to do the phone tracks I practiced earlier, but couldn't do due to my accent.

I had to sit at the desk witth a headset on so I could hear her read, in front of me was a mic so I could communicate with her. I had to operare the recordings, so pressing record, stopping it, deleting it etc.
My job was to listen to her read and correct her if she didn't
* Enunciate well enough
* Hesitatet
* Stumbled on words
* said a word wrong
* Too fast, too slow or no pauses.

It was quite a long process and at first I was uncomfortable correcting someone, but later on it went better and more natural. I just said what needed to happen, only sometimes I was uncertain what to do with a take so I kept it and aimed for a second take xD Most of the time the second time blew away the first take so that turned out good. A few lines took a few redo's, but in the end we got it.

She left, but I had to choose music for her recordings. Something that would flow with it, so I got faster beats for her faster paced reads and relaxing if I felt the mood suited that.
When the supervisor returned I showed hin the video and he was happy about it.
He also mentioned I should continue in video and said he was happy I took on some projects as they were only lying around. Also another intern will be coming in soon who will take over for a couple of months!
I think he saw benefits of having an intern around =P
But from what I understand I wont be done with this internship. It could be I will have to do some tasks when I get back home.

Before I left I added logo's from the event to the video as an intro and outro.
I only still needed to add credits at the end of who made it, whose footage and who it's made for as well as the logo of Studio Productions.

So I added credits at home with footage from day 1 under the graphics. It's ready to go now!
