Sound

We would have to mute the original sound from the first scene which meant we’d have to re-record Allison’s breathing separately along with the voice-overs. For the best possible quality of sound we borrowed a microphone which we tested several time before we started recording.

First we captured breathing, this is harder than it sounds because it was hard for Katie to breath naturally under pressure. She proved quite useless at it so myself and James recorded our own versions which we’d try later in editing and use whatever sounded most convincing.

Then we wrote out the voice-over that would be required in the second scene. At this point we would need Katie’s voice to merge into James’ as he would be doing the voice for Daniel Carroll, who was no longer Chinese. We recorded both twice.

Finally we recorded a couple of telephone noises to be put over the final black out, again we would decide in the edit which sounded best.
