Feedback from our Second Tutorial

Today we had our second tutorial with Esther and I was pleased with the feedback and direction she gave us. A positive that she noted was the panning in our piece, she said that this was good and that we needed to add more of this in the overall track. Unfortunately, the levels were a bit too loud when she was listening to the piece and I could see them peaking which I hadn't noticed during the rough edit so we'll need to fix that.

Something we all agreed on as a definite change was the voice of the cleaner. We were already unhappy with the recordings but Esther's input cemented the idea to rerecord in our plans. The voice was too much for the piece and I agree that maybe by rerecording we can get a lot more out of the overall work. For one thing, Hannah and I have decided to record the voice in a more monotonous tone to indicate an internal voice rather than the more emotive dialogue we'd gotten to begin with.

Esther suggested we should separate the cleaner and the workers more, that they were too integrated at present. I think that with more panning and sorting out our levels, once we've reintroduced the new voice recordings that this will be a lot clearer between where she is in relation to them. The panning to create the sense of her movement through the space should also help a lot in creating those boundaries.
