Production: the editing process

This lesson I began editing the voice-over that I recorded directly into iMovie. I found this very easy to do, as it meant that the words matched up to what was going on in the documentary at the time. This effect looks professional and makes it a lot more enjoyable to watch for the audience.
I decided to still have a soundtrack in the background however, I just had to ensure that I turned down the volume slightly so that my voice could still be heard well enough over the top.
When I was recording the voice-over I made sure that I spoke clearly and loudly into the microphone, and re-recorded the clip if I did not think it met what I wanted. 

This is the microphone I deiced to use to  record my voice-over. I plugged it directly into my MacBook . I knew this would be suitable due to the fact that I also used this microphone to interview the lifeguards on the beach in Mallorca. It blocked out the wind in the background, and the voices of both myself and the lifeguards could clearly be heard.
