Sounds for Film

 Hi blog, today were working out our sounds. I feel like it wouldn't usually need its own blog, but I wanted to get it right. The biggest sound bite we are going to need to focus on is the car crash. Obviously we can't actually crash the cars. We also can't call any emergency services. So we are going to have to make it as realistic as possible with sounds and editing. I was thinking we can recreate sirens in the background of the video with a megaphone. Usually there is a siren button on them, and I think Nico has one we can use. Now for the crash, it is going to be a little harder. I was assigned the job of figuring out the crash sound because of my interest in cars. So my plan is to use scrap metal and maybe rocks or soda cans. I can bang them against each other to create a metal crunching sound and a screeching sound. I can also try to slide my car around in a parking lot to get a tire screeching sound that is often associated with hard braking before a crash. I considered actually slamming on my brakes to try and recreate the sound, but most cars with Assisted-Braking-Systems (ABS), won't actually make the sound. There is also the office sounds, which might not sound like anything. However, I was thinking we can incorporate the sound of computer keys. Tom has a keyboard that makes a nice loud clicking sound when pressed. Finally, there is the party sounds. We decided to leave this up to Nathaly to work on, mostly because it was her idea. I still am very excited to film and can't wait.
