During Pre-Production I didn't have much to do for my roles as they were mainly roles during Production and in Post-Production. One thing I did do for Pre-Production is watch movies in the same genre as the film we were producing to get an idea of the sound design needed. One movie I watched for this was "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" (Chbosky, 2012), and focused on the scene where Emma Watson's character and her love interest confess their love for each other. During this scene the movie starts quiet and almost unnoticeable and as the scene goes on the music builds before finally having it crescendo on the highest point of the scene, in this example them kissing.

This was my first day on set, and we were filming the hallway scene and the bathroom scene. As soon as the set was dressed i started by going around and getting pictures of the set so i can make sure the scene stays consistent throughout the shots. As soon as the actors had their make up done and costumes on I also took pictures of the actors so I could make sure their costumes didn't change of they took them off for lunch, or to make sure their hair would be the same way if the wind swept it. The actors were wearing lanyards that kept waving around, so to make it easier I used gorilla tape to stick the lanyards to the costume so i wouldn't have to constantly worry if they were facing the same way. For the hallway scene Pheobe was carrying a mop and bucket, so I kept track of where the bucket was facing when put down and which way the tag of the mop was facing during the scene. After we had a break for lunch a wet floor sign that was placed down disappeared which I didn't pick up on, but as these scenes corrupted I will be able to correct it later in the week.

The second scene that day was in the bathroom. For this Pheobe had a spray bottle to clean the taps, so I took a picture of how much liquid was left in the bottle to make sure the amount didn't fluctuate through the scene. I made note and informed the actor on the actions they were doing to clean the sink so as it changed between shots the same motions would be happening.

My 2nd day on set was filming the cafeteria scene. My first action was to take pictures of the positions the tables and chairs are in so when we have to move them to fit in the tripod and dolly track I'm able to put them back where they were to keep the continuity. I was able to use the square pattern on the floor to be able to pin point where exactly the tables and chairs were placed. Outside the window there was a pop up market which had people constantly coming and going from it which was out of my control to keep continuity.

Patrick was carrying a bag in the scene which I had to constantly keep tabs on as it kept slipping down so I made sure I took pictures of where the bag was placed on Patrick's leg and where the bag strap was placed on his shoulder

This day we filmed the scenes in the Podiatry and a scene in Patrick's classroom.

For the Podiatry I made notes of all the times and where each actor turned to look at each other. I did this so when jumping between shots peoples heads didn't appear in a totally different direction. There was also a clock in the Podiatry I had to keep changing the time for so that we weren't jumping forward and back in time. For this I had to keep resetting the clock to 30 seconds before the time in the scene so I had time to put it up.

For Patrick's classroom we changed the tables into rows so that they resembled a classroom. I made sure they all lined up so that when I need to put them back to their position for the scene I can make sure they're consistent, or giving the illusion of consistency. For the mise-en-scene the whiteboard had a bunch of equations and math related text. I took a picture of this in case it rubs off by the next filming day I'm able to make sure it goes back perfectly.

We filmed in Peel Park this day, shooting Phoebe walking past Athena's stall and the tree scene.

At Athena's stall I took a picture of the table with all the props placed on it. It was a windy day and petals placed on the table kept blowing off but luckily due to me having pictures of how the table was set I was able to place it back exactly where it came from. I took pictures of how the gazebo was set up as well so in case it blew over or any of the set dressing blew away I'd be able to put it back.

At the tree a blanket was set down for Lisa and Patrick to sit on. I took pictures of where the blanket was and where the actors were sat to make sure they can stay in the same place. During filming the first shot the blanket blew in the wind and over Patrick's leg meaning I had to mark that shot as unusable, and reset the blanket to how it was. Halfway through the scene we took a break, so when the actors returned to their marks I was able to place the actors exactly where and how they were sat before. There was a packet of crisps on the scene which I had to keep constant tabs on to make sure the label was always placed down in the same way.

This was a full day in Patrick's classroom getting the shots of the time stop.

When arriving the first thing I did was check the tables were in the same place as before and check the blinds were in the same position as before. There was an Athena poster put up on the pin board so I made sure I put it back where it was.

There was a clock in this scene and it had to be stopped exactly at 15 seconds. We were able to accomplish this by using tinfoil and attaching it from the batteries and to the clocks power. Luckily all the equations on the whiteboard hadn't been touched so they were left as they were the past day.

This was the final shooting day, being re shoots for the hallway scene.

Having photos of the costumes and hair allowed me to show hair and makeup to make sure the actors look the same as they did last time we shot these scenes. I also had pictures of Athena posters hung up in the hallway I was able to put up exactly where they were before.

I found the wet floor sign that disappeared last time and was able to place it back where it was before

To practise editing I decided to put music over a scene and sync up actions to beats

# data[].attributes.body
A few days before going in for editing I was sent a rough cut of the film. This allowed me to choose from my selection of songs and narrow it down to the songs I want to use, making it a lot easier during editing.

Post-Production started with locating which scenes needed music where, and fitting in the pieces. There were specific notes and chords that would sync up with actions, such as Jason appearing over Lisa's shoulder mixed up with a whimsical chord, and during the park scene matching up the cuts to different shots with notes.

After syncing up all the music the next task was to create the sound design for when time stops. For this I had to collect a bunch of sound effects which i gathered from freesounds.com. Some of the sound effects included bells chiming which the sound was inverted for, a heart beat and the clock ticking. As i kept going along the sound kept feeling flat so the solution around this was to give it a big build up from the start and have it end on a big crescendo, and ending it abruptly, while having a slight drag from a slowed down warp sound.

The final job for the film was to sync up sound effects for when Patrick and Pheobe walk in the cafeteria scene and the park scene. For this I had to individually cut singular footsteps from an audio file and sync them up individually. When they were all placed in something didn't sound right about the footsteps so the solution around this was to mess with the levels of the footsteps so they sounded like they were the correct distance away and matched up with the footwear the actors were wearing.

The three editors were shown a private viewing with visuals and audio put together to see if any last adjustments were needed before submitting it. We didn't fins many problems and were able to upload it
