With ambient sound, I had to get a bit creative because I didn’t even know I needed ambient sound, but to make the sequence seem more realistic, I had to record certain things to make the scenes more realistic and to even sound better that way as well.
The first sound I had to record was the office sounds since that was the place that was definitely going to have ambient sound no matter what. Without that there would be a very quiet office and it wouldn’t feel real. The cinematic invisibility wouldn’t have worked in that way for that scene. The first thing I needed was the people talking in the back of the video. I simply set my phone to record the talking of some of my classmates in one of my classes to get the simple sounds of an office. If there was no talking, it wouldn’t really be an office. After that, I had to layer a phone ringing on top of it. I got one of my teachers to call another teacher of mine so I could record the ringing the of the phone. I just had to awkwardly stand there while my teacher just kind of… watched me record his phone ringing. It’s show biz, you know? Lastly, I had to record the printer printing, so I printed some random paper, sprinted to the office where the printer was, and recorded the printer sound as well as I could. Then, going back and watching the sequence back, I realized a door creaking would work for the evidence part of the scene. So, I found a squeaky door in my house, closed it slowly and recorded every part of it. Once I got all of that sound layered and leveled well, the title sequence really came together in the end.
Now that the sound is done, working on titles and color correcting is the very next step as well.
