<strong>(1 day Workshop)</strong>

&nbsp;

<strong>Background</strong>

The Additional Dialogue Recording workshop is a joint initiative between the Uganda National Cultural Center in Collaboration with the Uganda Communications Commission. The idea to organize this training was born as a result of a recurrent challenge of poor sound in many of the films submitted for the first two editions of the Uganda Film Festival. This workshop is intended as a TOT (Training Of Trainers) to empower participants who will be drawn mainly from Universities, Film Schools and other film related training institutions. The idea is to produce trainers who will then go ahead to pass on gained knowledge to their students.

The ADR workshop will introduce the concept and practical application of additional sound /dialogue recording process to professionalize the quality of Ugandan films hitherto unpracticed in Uganda.

<strong>Outline</strong>

The first part of the workshop will give the participants a good understand of what ADR is, why ADR is done and the process of ADR. At the end of this first session participants will have a good theoretical understanding on ADR. They will also in this session be shown some examples of projects that have undergone ADR in the UNCC Studio.

The next part of the training will be more hands on were participants; aided by the trainers, will get a chance to familiarize themselves with ADR Equipment. The will also be helped to appreciate the value of adequate preparation; rehearsals for the talent etc. before undertaking the recording. Participants will also do sample recording, and finally undertake editing and syncing of the recordings with the visuals.
Participants will then be tasked in groups to complete an assignment were they will be required to use the knowledge acquired to do ADR for a selected drama skit of a commercial or public service announcement.Finally the day will close with a discussion about the learnings and experience gained in the course of that day.
