Creating Amber Snow's Email Account


 As part of my film, Amber Snow emails Jake Carter,so I had to create an email address. I originally just used my email, but I then realised that my name came up, which wouldn't have looked good, so I decided I would have to create an email for Amber.


I used Hotmail as the email because I have an account with them, so I know how to use it already. I filled out Amber Snow's information. I had to make up some information, such as her birthday. Once it was created, I screen recorded, while I was typing the email, on the mac.

Creating the Voice-over using GarageBand



The program I used to record the voice-overs was GarageBand on the Mac. This program is easy to use, which meant that I didn't waste any time trying to work out how to use it.




The first voice-over I recorded was Willow's, when her character, Amber, has emailed Nick's character, Jake, about wanting to help find his girlfriend, Emily. The process I used to record Willow's voice-over was simple; I opened the GarageBand program, as well as the document that Willow's script was on. I then pressed the record button and Willow read the script, which appears in the left hand side of the video below.

 Once Willow had read the script, I then had to cut the audio, so that there were no pauses before or after the speech. I did this so that it would save me time when it came to putting the audio in my film. The video to show the process of creating the voiceover is below.
