Wednesday 1st May
Scene 9-12 – Consisted of recording Foley for such things as opening and closing the back door, pouring orange juice into a glass, locking the front door with a big set of keys. Then mixed.
Scene 17-20 – Consisted of more re-syncing of most of the on location recordings, creating a short 2 second TV clip as Harry turns the TV on then almost straight off. Recorded a urinating onto a pregnancy test type sound and the zipping of his jeans. Then mixed.

Scene 26-29 – Consisted of re-syncing most of the on location recordings, replaced all sound from bathroom scene including the running of the bath, all spot effects, grunts and sighs. Dialog recorded very low (as neither Shane or I could make filming so the producer recorded this day) so we attempted to EQ out background hiss with not much luck. Edited dialog to make more sense.
Scene 1-5 – Made notes for next session
Scene 32-35 – Consisted of re-syncing most of the on location recordings. Placing a high pass filter on parts such as the walking down stairs and opening and closing of the car door as it was very bass heavy
Thursday 2nd May
Double checked scenes 6-7, 9-12 and 17-20, bounced them down and handed bounced down audio to the editor.
Friday 3rd May
Scene 30-31 – Consisted of recording Foley for the first 33 seconds of the scene as no audio was recorded. This included taking a the sound from a previous scene of our actress in bed, then recording Foley for her reading, shutting and putting down her book, moving and moving back the lamp, sighs and breathing
Scene 13-14 – Consisted of recording spitting a mouthful of water into a glass vase to re-create the sound of someone throwing up.
Received Scene 23-37 – These scenes were cut together differently to the scenes that we had previously been given as the editor thought the pace needed quickening, so all previous re-syncing had to be done again and added extras such as Foley and sound effects had to be taken from previous sessions and put into this scene 23-37 session
Saturday 4th May
Wrote and recorded music for the intro of Scene 1-5
Sunday 5th May
Scene 23-37 – Continued to make finishing touches to these scenes. Consisted of re-syncing on location audio then added sound effects needed from previous sessions and mixed.
Scene 21-22 – Consisted of re-syncing the on location audio. Added in the recording of the doctor’s answer phone message and adjusted the EQ on it to sound more like its coming from a telephone by taking off the low and high ends and adding a slight boost to the mid.
Monday 6th May
Scene 1-5 – Consisted of recording the Foley for the bedroom scene, which included a zip, a tie, clothes rustling and a clock ticking. Added the 2 ringtones we created at an earlier date into the scene. Recorded music for the end of scene 5 (Made sure it lasted a little longer than the film so it would overlap into scene 6). Then mixed
Scene 23-37 – Added a slightly different version of the music we created for the end of scene 5 at the end of scene 37
Scene 15-16 – Mixed
Scene 13-14 – Consisted of deleting previous progress and started again with new film. Added news report, sick Foley and a TV click on. Found some royalty free music that resembled a children’s TV show from www.freeplaymusic.co. Mixed and handed all remaining scenes to the editor.
