Continued Edit - Sounds and Music

Once we had the extra footage Dannny edited it into the film and we looked over it and decided we were pretty much happy with the visuals.

At this point we moved onto thinking more about sound. Joe sorted through all the clips and began to edit them together with the picture. We knew the music was going to play a big part in the film especially in the frantic bathroom sections. Jokingly at first we put the music from previously referenced scene from the film Bean but it really seemed to work, so we knew we wanted a high intensity classical piece and I had recently heard Flight of the Bumblebee by Nikolai Rimski-Korsakov. For the restaurant scenes we chose a piece of traditional italian music.

When deciding how the music should be used I, at first, thought that the italian music should play up until the wine spill and then the music should changed to Flight of the Bumblebee when the character comes into the bathroom and then play out the rest of the film where as the rest of the group wanted the music to switch back and forth, from the calm of the restaurant to the panic of the bathroom. Joe and Danny put together an edit in which the music switched between to show me and I then agreed that this was a better option. I think if the music had played out as I was suggesting it would have only worked on one level and therefore my main role as director in this capacity was to know when I'm wrong and trust the group concensus.
 
We also put together a Sounds List for Joe to work off and so that he could assess whether he needed any Foley sounds.
