EDITING: SOUND

 As an initial plan I thought of adding sound effects in post production. Both ambient sounds and ofcourse music. But I didn't knew one of my teammates had wireless mics which made posible to get some ambient audio. It was a really noisy environment so we used the noice cancelation, focusing in getting the most important sounds like the shovel, as well as the gasps when the shovel is being used. This wireless mics put the audio directly into the camera so it also makes the editing process fster. Allowing us to focus in other things like the music and try to edit to the beat. In a previous blog post I mentioned how I was trying to mix music to make a song from scratch for the film opening, but I stop this as we found a royalty free song that really matched what we had in mind. The main reason for making the music by myself was that it would make easier to match the video with the music, but due to the dramatic and slow pacing of the song it was easy to match. 

Another element from the sound that is important to highlight is the voice over. We only have a couple lines that serve the only purpose of adding some dramatism. We simply recorded the lines in voices memos on a phone and put them in the time line. Phones have really good quality this days and with the music as a constant background noice any problem with the audio wasn't almost noticeable.

The sound design still lacks complexity and deepness so we are going to go back to the place we recorded to record some extra sounds. And we'll also add some stock soundeffects like wind.
