Voice-overs

As Conan, the main character, Jin probably had one of the most parts out of us. However, most of her parts were actually voice-overs. From the Merriam-Webster online dictionary, a voice-over is "the voice of a visible character (as in a motion picture) expressing unspoken thoughts" (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/voice%E2%80%93over).

What's unique about voice-overs is that Conan is filmed thinking, not actually saying the part, but in the film we can hear what is considered his "thoughts". This is a difficult production technique to film because if Jin didn't speak and we recorded her speaking later, the film might not match with sound. Thus, we decided to film her speaking, then afterwards Meghan will edit the video to make it look like she's thinking what she's saying. Check out this unedited video of Jin (with a slight blooper at the beginning).
