Sound

I think that one of the biggest obstacles that I will encounter, is the sound; which I feel that makes a big difference between a good film, and a not so good one. If what the characters are saying is not easily understood, the quality of the film goes down a lot. Also, in class, Ms. Stoklosa said that one of the main things that brought the previous projects grades, and quality down was the audio. For this reason, I want the audio of my opening to be really good, and for that, I will use some special tools.

Microphones

My dad, sometimes has to record some videos talking, for work, and that's why he got microphones, to make the audio quality better. This microphones are not like the ones used in concerts, no, they are really micro-phones, and they have a little clothespin attached to it, which allows the microphone to be attached to things. This microphones are special for the recording of videos, which is why I think that they will be really useful in the development of my opening.

I don't want the microphones to be visible, and the clothespin allows me to hide them. I could maybe put one on Maverick's clothes, and if the sound quality goes down, because it has to be hidden on his body, I can attach it so the chair, or maybe on a part of Maverick's body that's not visible. 

Other Options

If the microphones are not working properly, or if anything happens to the audio, my second option is to use voice memos. I could hide a phone near where the sound is coming from, and just record the audio with voice memos, which is an app that records voice notes.

If none of this options work, or if a specific part of a segment is not audible, there's a thing called foley, which is basically the reproduction of a sound in the media to enhance audio quality. I can take these sounds from non-copyright cites, like Pixabay, or I could create the sounds myself, like I did for some of the sounds on the first project of my sound projects blogs.
