War of the Worlds - Edit Stage 3

During our seminar in which neil was going through the clips he said about War of the Worlds and I made these notes of ideas and things to think about:

• There are CU and MLS so will sound different
• They are hiding so don't want to be loud
• Floor - covered in dirt and leaves so will be crumbly
• Use Pan and Volume to make sure the prob moves
• Rat - scratchy
• The prob has a personality - flares, moves and constantly changes
• Snakey ??
• When gets closer to the mirror - crank volume up
• Boot - massive feature sound!
• Speed up and build tension then relief again
• Use a cellar as similar settings

So taking on these comments I went down into my old dark cellar and use this as the setting for my recording. I mainly focused on trying to get footsteps on the  dirt and used several types of shows to get the difference between Racheal's and Tom's.
