Post Production - Sound

Once we got the footage we had shot on the day onto the computer ready to start editing, we found that we had had a failure with the sound whilst filming. All that we can hear is a loud buzzing noise. This therefore meant that we had no sound to work with at all and would have to make another arrangement then what we had originally planned. We then came up with the idea that we would have no speaking throughout with the occasional sound of doors, poker chips being thrown and glasses, loud enough to make out what they are, but so they do not distract fro the scene and what is going on. Adding this sound back in was essential to increase the tension. After partially adding the sound back into the sequence, it needed something more. We added an underlying 'room tone' which creates a mood and brings tension and atmosphere. The software we used to do this was Soundtrack Pro, which allowed us to create and change the sounds into what we feel suited our sequence. It was easy to import the sound into the Final Cut Pro timeline, once we had rendered it.
