Diegetic Sound Recording
When filming our coursework we noticed that the diegetic sound was unable to be heard clearly, therefore taking away from a lot of the tension that we want to build. In order to overcome this, we would have to record the sound of footsteps/twigs snapping etc. separately to the scene itself.

This would be proven effective especially at the end as we are planning to include a scream.
I needed to record the following, a scream and a twig snapping. To do this i used a field recorder although when recording i had to bare in mind the surrounding noises such as cars or aeroplanes.
When recording the scream we thought that using a large area would be more beneficial therefore allowing the sound to travel whereas if we were in a tight space the scream may have been too over powering and therefore distorted on the recording. This is good as it means we may not have to record it separately to the scene, dependant on the surrounding noise.

Additionally, we had to record the rustling of leaves and the sound of a twig snapping to create a feeling of a second presence in the scene as well as well as building tension up to an anti climactic point in which only a twig will snap.
Overall, the recording process was really easy and can be edited into our footage without a problem, however it's necessary to bare in mind the clarity of the sounds that we are using as it's easy to pick up the sound of traffic and other noises. I also found that by finding a secluded small area the sound is picked up better and clearer as the sound is able to bounce off its surroundings creating a nice clear acoustic.
