Making: Sounds

What sounds did we need?

The sound of a twig snapping,
Dialogue,
Music for the radio place and the woods,
The sound of a gun being fired,
Rummaging sounds when searching through bag,
Other diegetic sounds,

How did we get these sounds?

Twig snapping - this would be easy enough to record as the setting has lots of snappy twigs and branches. However, we forgot the microphone on the day of filming so we had to record it later.


Dialogue - As I just said, we forgot to bring the mic when we were filming so we will either have to try and edit the sound to be a bit better, or rerecord the sound later, and try and get it to match up with the film.
Music - we explored lots of free music sites such as freesound.
Gunshot - I had a choice of either amplifying the sound from the video or getting a sound off of an internet sight such as freeSFX
Rummaging sounds - We got a really loud rustling sound when we did the shot from inside of the bag, which i will probably use. However, I could easily make the artificial noise by rustling a plastic bag near a microphone. This would give a better sound quality too.
Other diegetic sounds - Any other diegetic sounds I will get from the video recording. There were lots of leaves on the ground which made some good diegetic sounds whilst the protagonist was walking. These would probably be hard to replicate well.

I ended up not using any of these as I didn't think any of them were wholly suitable for the genre, and wanted to base the film around diegetic sounds.

Sounds I got From YouTube:

I wanted other diegetic sounds when I was editing which I had not got beforehand. I did this via YouTube:



Editing the sound
I had to play around with a lot of the dialogue on Adobe Audition as you could hear talking from behind the scenes on many of them, or the annoying click of turning on/off the camera. I tackled most of these problems by simply turning down the volume of these instances to an inaudible level. However, I sometimes had to cut these bits out completely, and then replace the missing sound with a copy of ambient noise from earlier in the clip.

I also edited sound to be quieter or louder, and on one occasion, I tried to make the sound appear to be getting louder and louder - gradually.
