Eleven: Sound

Sound has been a very complicated part of our film. When deciding roles we were unsure about who would be the sound-man. If me or Jacob were to do sound, we couldn't focus fully on the overall look and organisation of shooting. Thankfully our good friend Harvey Steele was prepared to come along to our five day shoot and be in charge of sound. This has been extremely useful for us preparing ourselves on shoot and communicating with our actors.

We used a sound-boom and sound recorder in our film. This made our sound very clear which was brilliant in the edit suite. We also had a rode microphone on set just incase our sound didn't come out clearly whilst editing. It was essential to have backup on set because there was no chance of re-shooting due to the amount of actors we had on set. Recording dialogue was a lot easier than expected. The clarity of the sound recorder made every sound coming from the room tone and the actors stand out. We also recorded separate wild-tracks which we could add in the edit suite if it worked in the scene.
