Sound Recording

After finalising the script, we then recorded the sound with 2 actors (James and Bill) in the sound studio. First we recorded it using James as the doctor and Bill as the patient. The movie below showed how this turned out:



I really liked this recording but we decided to swap roles and record Bill as the doctor to see if that worked any better :



I liked both recordings a lot. James was very jolly which is the attitude that I want the doctor to have but I feel that Bill's had a bit more character with the reaction at the end, blaming it on the nurse where as James seemed like he was just telling the nurse that there had been a mistake. Using this one would also reinforce that the doctor is the dominant character in the scene and the patient is really just reacting to the doctor at times. I also felt that James played the shocked patient very well, there was a lot of genuine surprise in his voice which I thought was great.

The video that we got from the recording will be very useful as well for the movement of the characters because we can see the moments that they move up and down when they talk along with the expression on their faces when reacting to eachothers comments.
