I spent today’s class learning more
about a sound director’s duties in preparation of the shoot over the holiday. Watching
a few videos on recording ambient sound, and even details like the sound of
footsteps on gravel, or the sound of a seatbelt buckled in made a great
difference in the audience’s experience. Before this investigation, I had no
idea that deliberate actions had to be taken into recording such fine details
that construct the overall experience of being “in” the movie.
In retrospect, I could have spent
some time looking over the script again or at least the parts that were
scheduled to be shot over the holiday, so that I could plan what some of the
above mentioned details may need to be recorded. Some precautions or
contingency plans could have been written for the slim possibility that part of
the boom-pole gets lost in the harbor, or if the restaurant is too noisy or crowded
for good sound quality. For the next shoot, I will do my best to pay more attention
to details, and create some plan of what sounds need to be recorded on set.
