Sound, as I touched on in my practice footage video, was quite a big issue due to filming at the top of a windy hill. There were quite a few times where the actors were mid sentence and a staggering breeze completely took over the audio, however multiple times we were fortunate enough to be able to shoot multiple long takes without a debilitating rush of wind. The part of the film (in my final product) where the wind is the loudest (the bit where Jordan stands up and demands truth) has a nice effect, it adds to the drama and uncertainty of the scene. The wind is naturally unsettling and unsettled is how I want the audience and the two characters to feel in this particular moment. So luckily and fortunately the wind ended up adding to the drama of the scene.

The second time the wind blows obnoxiously is in the very last shot as I’m zooming out, this again works well for effect, it shows that even though the characters have communicated to a degree, they’re still not happy, they’re still unsettled and the ‘fruitless environment’ remains ubiquitous.

On the day of the shoot Mitch did my sound and made the levels peak at the highest DB possible. This was because of the actors movements-they move alot over quite a bit of space, in order to not lose any of the sound the DB had to be up. Fortunately none of the actors sounded muffled at any stage, even during shouting their voices didn’t peak to a point of distortion. If I had my time again I don’t think I would have changed anything sound wise- I had to shoot outside at the top of a hill which is never ideal when striving for perfect sound, but Mitch did a great job! Giving me fantastic sound.
