Audio

 Unless you're making a One Word Film,😂(....😐) you're going to have to incorporate sound into your project one way or another. 

Alarm clock

    For my group and I's portfolio project, we for sure know that we want to have an alarm clock. This alarm clock will be going off in two scenes, so we have two choices: perfectly set up the clock to ring at the right moment, or input an alarm sound during editing. We are filming tomorrow, so I think we should know by then. However, if we go with the second option, we would have to record the alarm going off at its own time, extract the sound, then layer it over the clip. I don't think this option will be too bad in editing, but it may be hard for it to sound real.

Caller

    In my group and I's film opening, there is a mysterious caller. We had this idea in class to get a famous person to be the caller. (I'm trying not to laugh while writing this...) I looked up "Willem Dafoe contact" and clicked on the first thing I saw. (I think that was a bad idea😞) I put in all the information and... and... and.... no response. Worst case scenario, Grace, one of my group members, will have to be the mysterious caller and input her voice recording during editing. (I am very sorry. For some reason, my pictures keep coming out blurry.)

    In the beginning of scene, my group and I know for sure that we want the therapist to be calling Alice's name. (Alice is the main character.) The therapist says Alice three times. The first two times are going to be muffled and the final time will be normal. I'm glad I'm not in charge of editing much because I do not know how to do this to sound...

    Okay... this might sound bad, but I don't think my group and I are going to add any nondiegetic sounds. Like you know when there's music playing but the characters aren't hearing that. Well.. yeah. I just don't think there's anywhere in our film opening to include those sounds. I mean since we have are script, there's basically dialogue all throughout and I know you can have music quietly playing when someone's talking, but how I'm picturing the film opening, I just don't think there is one moment to slide music in.
