At The Museum of the Moving Image, one of the demonstrations that interest me the most is the ADR interactive experience in Behind the Screen. We can record our voices over dialogue from a film, following the same procedure that actors use when dubbing their lines in post-production. Although I didn’t volunteer to try it, I can tell it’s not an easy job to record our voices over the dialogues in the film by seeing other classmates doing it. First you need to be familiarized with the lines, what is happening in the scene so that when you proceed to the next step for dubbing the lines, it will be a lot easier to control the timing (matching the mouth movements) and also speak with the correct tone of voice as you are watching the screen.
The other thing I would like to include in the field trip experience is the live broadcasting because it is something that I already know is hard to do and it actually looked a lot harder in person when I saw so many TV screens at the same time. There’re about 12 to 14 monitors showing a baseball game as an example of how a live broadcasting looks like. However, the museum tour guide said there’re a lot more when it comes to real live broadcasting. I honestly did not know that until she told me so. The director’s job is to choose the screen/camera shot he wants the audience to see consistently.
Nowadays many films don't have to rely on props such as fake animals, due to the help of digital technology. Most of them can be done by computer editing. It makes the work a lot easier for film makers. Through computer editing, we can now even create a scene that isn't existed in real world. Everything looks smoother on screen than when the moving image was done by stop motion. However, sometimes I think that the computer editing makes things look too realistic that i can tell it's fake. And in this case, I personally think that using a prop may be better.
