15. Sound

For the scenes where we would be filming out in the public we noticed there would be too much background noise and so to counter this I brought along a portable mic that would be placed near the sites of action. For example the shot where Suri runs into the passer by due to the echo of the tunnel noise from the street above was picked up by the DSLR's internal mic but having the portable mic hidden around the corner allowed us to pic up the sounds of the bag dropping and the sound of the impact.

To tackle the problem of unnecessary background noise we managed to capture some room tone. The reason for room tone is to put over the audio timeline and use as a substitute for any editing points in dialogue to keep the soundtrack flowing smoothly and also to create a feel for the size of the area we filmed in.
