part 3: footsteps
The task we were set was to get the sound of footsteps approching from behind closed doors.
The footsteps scene was a lot harder to do than we thought it would be because all the doors in our college were thick and sound proof and we had to get footsteps from behind the door. So we ended up having to use a normal corridor and nicholas delivering the footsteps. We had him walking towards the recorder so we get a good feeling of the footsteps geting closer. This was definitely the worst recording because we did not muffle the microphone properly and thought the pillar would muffle the sound enough. Due to this the sound came out very loud and very close to the recorder and we had to do task again, Below are some pictures showing what we did.

Because the sound was nothing like what is should have been we tried to get the sound again but this time trying different methods from before, we tried to simulate the door by once again muffling the sound using my trusty jacket.
In this shot you can see me walking towards the microphone from quite a distance away, about 20 meters away but i was getting closer and so the sounds of my footsteps were getting louder. The reason why we chose to record here is simply because all other place were too noisy and background noise flooded the recording, we also walked from quite far away so we know at what point is the best for simulating the sound.
This shot of the jacket and sound recorder and the jacket shows how we used our surroundings to use. The yellow ring shows the recorder and the how it is being muffled and the black lines show where the sound is coming from.
This is the visual of the sound clip as you can see the sound is very quite at the beginning because the footsteps were quite far away, the only footsteps being caught are the ons in the green region then in the red region the footsteps are more vibrant and sound a lot better.
