Our re make of the film opening for "Arlington Road" was missing sound throughout so we needed to add sound to create an effective opening. We recorded footsteps which were recorded with the microphone. During editing we had to manipulate the speed of both the video and sound as the pace was off. This had to be done so the sound was in sync with the footage. From this we learned that it would be best to have a hold of the footage so we can mimic the pace and speed of the footage so it's all in sync.
We recorded the shuffling of some tissue to create a windy and eerie sound. The sound was in the background of when the little boy was looking around to portray his confusion and state of mind at the time of the shot. From this we learned that it is good to use weather to portray feelings and state of minds of an individual.
We also recorded doors closing however it didn't work well with the footage so we decided to not include it in the opening. We made the screeching sound of the car by using nails scratching against a wall. This was the closest thing to the screeching of a car we could make as before we attempted to use our mouths. The use of our mouths sounded to fake so the idea was dismissed. From this we learned that it would be better to use the actual sounds of what we want to make it seem more genuine.
Lastly in the future, we plan to have sound or music play throughout the whole sequence in order make it seem consistent and not disruptive.
