Over the past weekend, a 30 second composition was shot but no sound was recorded. This was due to the lack of sound recording equipment and because the on-board mic on the camera was utterly useless.
So this left recording all the sounds separately and adding them in, in post. After going out and recording the relevant sounds ( wildtracks, footsteps, wind, sighs), they were all uploaded and put into the Avid bins. Following this, there was a struggle in syncing up the separate footsteps with the video on-screen. After a while, this was rectified. Thankfully, the wild tracks turned out perfectly for the different locations, which helped add more production value to the shots.
After spotting my actor sighing in one shot, I decided to take full advantage of this by adding in a sighing sound which added some drama to the shot. Once all the foley and other sounds were sorted out, music was then sought out. It had to be something that added some melancholic depth to the scene. It had to help portray the feelings of isolation and longing. After a while of searching, a very apt score was found. Having this placed into the sound mix helped mask one or two sounds that were out of place. However, there's an annoying clicking sound which occurs just after the first shot, which was near enough impossible to remove.
