Lvl 6 - FMP: Trick Of The Dark - Cave Shoot

So for the third shoot of Trick Of The Dark we decided on getting as much of the cave scenes completed as we could. We established that due to time restrictions from the upcoming deadline that this would be the best route going forward with this project. This was definitely successful as on returning to the uni Andrew was able to put together a linear timeline in which the film makes sense. So what has already been established is my role on this project in which sound was going to be complicated due to the surroundings in which i was capturing my sound. Gaining an atmos track was essential to this which became an issue to constant traffic of people entering the cave in which we were filming. I was able to capture some atmos but going forward with the shoot more difficulties presented themselves.

I had an issue with the XLR cable which seemed to dislodge slightly throughout a few takes but i used the spare that was there which was definitely useful as it stopped any recurring sound issues. Capturing sound without the public was no issue and i captured some rather crisp audio once i had fixed the mono & set it to stereo. I put the XLR cable into input 3 as due to the Zoom H6 being set back to factory settings it was an issue that Shaun pre-warned me about. Public became more and more present as the shoot continued which complicated sounds as they were being loud and asking the crew questions about the shoot itself, At this point we established that this was going to be a problem so we decided to schedule an ADR session for the next day to capture the sound that was not recorded on the day and make sure that we get the best audio that is accessible with the equipment at our disposal.
