Sound effect library

Creating a sound effect library will allow a range of sounds to be added in to the film during post production, some have already been recorded but the ones needed for the film are as follows:

• hitting body - method of replication - Simply record the sound of the a fist hitting the body using the side of the hand so the boy isn't physically harmed. If you hit the upper leg the sound will be short and flat as there is allot of muscle. If you hit the chest the sound will be longer and resonate slightly.
• body hitting car - method of replication - The sound should combine the body hit and a metallic sound, and could simply be a hands hitting a car, if the sound is lower pitch it may sound like a full body.
• money being played with - method of replication - moving money around in a hand ( must replicate the same movement)
• main road ambience - method of recording - Have a microphone next to a road with cars passing and trees moving in the wind. having a good length of a sound recording means that there can be a range of sections to be extracted, instead of being limited to what I can use.
• nature (birds/trees/wind etc.) - method of recording - Leave a microphone outside to record the sounds of nature, including birds singing, wind and trees blowing in the wind.

Altering the pitch of sounds such as the body hit would mimic the depth of the body and perhaps the clothing, this can also apply to the hitting of the car. The additional sound added in will give a sense of realism as the sound is expected in the film. The way that we shot the film meant the microphone was too far away from the audio to pick up.
