Recording background noise

As we are completing our film trailer we need to start looking in detail at certain aspects such as diegetic and non diegetic sounds.

We realised that during the store cupboard scene with Scarlett, whilst she is in the cupboard our camera has picked up noises from various people walking down the corridor outside the room and this effects the reality of the film because Scarlett is supposed to be in a forbidden room.

So to solve this issue we deleted any sound from the scene and then recorded an empty room where there were no sounds from other people. In this recording you can gently here a slight background noise such as the buzz from a computer.

This really helps the scene because there is no awkwardness due to no sound at all which would have been very noticeable and there is also no distractions with other people talking.
