Week 4 Post 2: Audio

 Cambridge Portfolio Project

Audio

Dialogue

-To have professional sounding dialogue, I will lavalier microphones, which clip onto the actor and are connected to a audio box. I will have the lavaliers clipped to areas not seen by the camera, utilizing the darker toned costumes to blend the lavalier into it. 

-In the beginning of the opening, there will be a radio, playing a radio station starting with the host talking, followed by music. In post production, I will make the dialogue of the host a bit fuzzy, making it sound more like its from a real radio. 

Foley

-In the beginning of the opening there will be a shot of a window looking out at a backyard. I will use a sound library software that CBTV has (sound dog I think its called) And for footsteps and simple sounds I will make myself. 

Music

-I got permission from Dave Tree (singer of Tree) to use their song, Question Abuse, in my opening. After the radio host finishes talking, the song will play. I intend for the song to play for the rest of the scene. From watching other movies, I noticed that sometimes when a character is speaking, any music playing will be quieter, and return to the prior volume after the characters are done speaking. I intend to use this unless I find it unfit.
