Post Production - Sound Effects

During the post production of our film opening, we researched and gathered a collection of sound effects that would be useful for us to use. We weren't happy with the audio recorded with the in camera microphone for most of the exterior shots. This was because a lot of wind had ruined the audio. Luckily we had not recorded any dialogue in the exterior shots, so we where able to delete all of the audio from the video files. We added in a wind sound effect and used that over all of the exterior shots. This gave the video a more professional sound. We found some sound effects for footsteps, however we decided editing the steps to sync up with the video would have taken too long, so we didn't use these sounds. There is also a typing on the keyboard sound effect, however the audio that was recorded with the in camera microphone when we filmed the typing was better than the sound effect. All of the other sounds where for the card scanning shot, the various bleeps and beeps showed that the card was being scanned. Another sound effect that was used in our opening was thunder and lightning to add to the effect of our bad guy and his evil laugh.
