Hey there Cambridge!
Before I can edit in my sounds, I would like to collect all my foley sounds first. Below is a list of sounds I need to create, as well as how I plan to recreate them.
Sweeping - sweeping with a broom
Grabbing a magazine (swiping it up from the ground) - slide the magazine across a surface
I do not need to record any following foley sounds since I want the audience to focus on the music, not footsteps or anything else in the background. The scene at the janitor's house will not make it in my film opening, due to the time limit. However, the first few seconds of it (when the janitor is calling the life preservation company) might fit in. We will see after I add in all my sounds if I need to record audio of a phone ringing for that scene.
For now, lets just focus on the foley sounds.
The most difficult sound to recreate was the sweeping sounds. The way my actor swept the broom was different each time and I had to pay close attention to his movements to mimic it properly. It took me maybe nine to ten tries. Grabbing the magazine sound was much easier, it took me around three tries. I simply just swiped it across the edge of my kitchen counter to recreate the sound.
Watch me record them in the video linked below!

Downloading the audio I already planned in my Audio blog was such a hassle. I had to pay $6.99 for the music license for the two audios, which was fine with me. That price is not bad at all and the two background music audios were PERFECT for my film opening. When I went to pay, it would not take my card and it was so annoying until I realized that they do not take that card network, so I switched to my other and it worked. Then the next obstacle came. I went to finally download the sound, and it would not let me. After struggling and searching why and being on the verge of emailing Epidemic Sound for help, I realized it would let me download as .wav (I was downloading as .mp3 before).
Anyways, that was a hassle.

Reflection:
I felt like creating these sounds was troubling with all the rerecording, and downloading the background music was obstacles after obstacles. So glad I can finally finish editing now! See you in the next blog!
Yours Truly,
Macie 💗
