Production: Developing Our Soundscape

 When we were in the process of planning, we made it clear that we wanted the sounds to be as organic as possible. We didn't want to spend hours looking for the perfect sound effect that would fit into what we filmed. So, when we went out to film, we spent some extra time recording foley sounds. This was to help us out later on in the editing process and help it run much smoother. Whenever we found a scene we knew we needed the sound to be exactly the way it was in the location, we spent an extra minute recording just the sound to ensure we could capture the entire scene how we liked. 

There are two that we filmed while at Regional Park that we know we will be using. One for a specific part of the scene and the other for the entire opening in general. These were leaves crunching, which we will use as footsteps throughout the opening, and a branch snapping, to match a specific movement. We were thinking ahead while we were filming to make sure we were happy with the results.

 

Here are some of the sounds we captured during the process.
