Today we began post production on ‘April’. We decided the best way to begin was to get the actors back in to re record the dialogue parts which could not be obtained on location. This consisted of re-recording the dialogue from the opening bar scene and the ending café scene. ADR for both April and Issac were needed as well as the audio from the bar man in the opening bar scene. Overall it ADR went really well. Considering neither of our actors had recorded ADR before, they were very accurate with their pronunciation of words in comparison to the visuals. We used a Rode NTG2 and an AKG 414 to record the ADR. The reason for both mics was to see which mic made the voice suit the film better. This was in terms of how re recorded the dialogue sounded. From reading the previous posted research prior to beginning the ADR recording, it helped my understand what to do and not to do in the ADR recording process.
The Picture posted below is our main male actor James Hallam (Issac) recording his ADR.
