During the process of editing in a previous project, we had an issue with wind and audio. So, we decided to use this previous experience to fix that. We knew that in scene 1 and 3 there was not going to be many audio problems are they are filmed indoor. However, scene 2 was going to be the one that will give us problems, but there were two ways we tried to fix that.
The first thing we thought about before starting filming was to record with an extra phone our audio up-close. As our characters are teenagers, they can get away with using headphones and airpods. Therefore, we would both use headphones connected to an extra phone that is recording just audio. One of the issues we had with this though was that when both characters were speaking, the headphones will pick up the audio of just one person. And since we just had one extra phone, we just tried to place the phone in a midpoint area, that would listen t both of us.
In case the headphones technique would not work as much, we fixed sounds on the post production process. We used foley or additional dialogue. So, certain sounds we recorded separately such as traffic, nature, or certain dialogue parts. These would help us avoid extra sounds we did not want in such as wind, loud cars and honks, or at one point people speaking in the background. Moreover, for the scenes we had to use the original audio, we would use apps such as Audacity to remove static audio, or lower the volume of certain loud scenes. Overall, I think it was really good the fact that we were able to look back and see into previous project mistakes and try to fix them on this one.
