Editing and foley update 2
March 05, 2017
We recorded all of the dialogue in the studio using the Shotgun mic again. Our actors watched the video whilst recording to make sure they got the dialogue to sync with the mouths when you could actually see them on screen. Callum and Louisa were really helpful with this and were good at getting is right. Emma and I went into the suite afterwards to put all of the dialogue into the thriller. It sounds much clearer than the previous one and overall better. Matt said that we can put reverb on it later to make it sound like they're actually in a small room. Emma and I also put in other sounds such as Callum being dragged out of the cupboard.

It's takes a long time to get the audio to sync in the right place but it's really satisfying when it works, and I actually enjoy doing the sound editing because we can put in the best bits and take out anything we don't like. It's also helpful that you can't see the actors' mouths for most of it because if we did, the dialogue sync would be so much more difficult than it is.
After the dialogue we recorded more sounds like the footsteps, the drawer opening and closing, the passport sounds, the boot throw, room tone and more. We did this in a boarding house common room because it was a small room that we could use for everything. Although we didn't have a wooden floor, Myles had the idea to turn over a wooden table and use the underneath as our floorboards. This was really effective as it meant that we could use the same room, and it had the right sound for it.
