When considering sound, i think it would be necessary to consider the director, editor, sound manager, producer. They will tell the sound recorder what they want and how they want it to sound. This way the sound recorder has a high knowledge of what they should be recording. Once the sound has been recorded, the director will decide if thats what he was looking for. Once a the film is locked, the sound will be added to the film then they'll work from there seeing if it works & what they need to change etc.
Spotting - is where you mark the points in a rough cut of the film where you want your chosen soundtracks
Picture lock - is where the film is locked so the soundtracks can be added and synced.
I am using natural sound from the wheels of the skateboard and general background noise to make it calming and realistic. If the sounds don't sound right or there is something wrong i plan on downloading someones soundtrack.
I originally planned on adding soundtracks to the natural sounds but once i watched the footage back i realised that the sound was at a really good quality and there was no reason to film it separate.
Preparing for my single camera drama i considered recording my sound in the studio. I did a soundcheck using a boom mic and realised the sound in this room wasn't good at all. This is because the room is rather large. This means the sound has to travel further causing the sound to be week at a poor quality. I could try to prevent this by using the curtain as a wall, this will increase the quality. Outside the studio is the college main centre which is very loud and echoey. I tried a boom mic and a clip mic, the boom mic was a little bit better depending where you directed the microphone. I had trouble using the clip mic, the mic was very faulty as it didn't really pick up sound particularly well. Even when speaking into the mic it would barely pic it up. After realising this, i stuck with using a boom mic and a blimp. (I used headphones to listen back to the audio).
