When I was initially assigned this project, I was in Georgia. Therefore, I wrote my script and my “color paragraph” blog based on the atmosphere there. I was randomly told by my family that we were going home that same week, after I had already based my whole film around being in Georgia. I tweaked my script while keeping as many elements as I could, and quickly got to work in Florida.
When editing my video, I realized that my audio was pretty much useless due to the poor quality microphone on my phone. I had to record every sound in the editing process, from the bed comforter ruffling, the sink faucet, the drawer, and many more. However, I did use youtube to find a few sound effects, like the birds chirping, the teeth being brushed, hair being brushed, and the perfume being sprayed. In a couple of clips, I was actually able to use the actual audio. The audio from the typing scene was perfectly fine because my phone was right next to the keyboard. As for the scene of me walking, the footsteps condescending sounded perfect and gave off a nice sense of distance. I enjoyed making the sounds for this project while it was quite tedious, and I think they came out perfectly. When recording my sounds, I recalled a video my instructor showed in class which discussed foley artists who make sound effects for movies (video below).
