The soundtrack for your video may require additional voiceover
and music to complement the sound recorded during the shoot.
voiceover
Voiceover narration may have been done on location by the
presenter, if you had one.
More often it is recorded by a professional
voiceover artist in a recording studio.
It is a good idea
to record the voiceover only when the script is finally approved,
to save the cost of recording changes.
Make sure too, the voice you use is compatable with the message
and audience you are trying to reach.
music
Music can be used in intros for increased impact and as background
throughout the video.
Music comes in four types:
- commercial recordings of pop or classical music, which
will be very expensive - literally thousands of pounds
even for a corporate training video
- music which is written to order for your production,
again expensive
- library music, readymade background music,
for which you pay royalties to the MCPS
- buy-out music, readymade music where you buy the disk
and then have unlimited use
