The idea I've got so far for the story-line has elements that depend on audio to be able to truly flow naturally and not drag attention away from the plot. I want to include music and have already been perusing forums on reddit to find genuinely good royalty-free music that won't be distractingly bad and sound out of place.
The main catalyst for the events of the first scene requires there to be context that a rehearsal is taking place for the theatre program's spring musical. I want there to be music playing as I want to include it as a vital element of the scene and mentioned in the character's dialogue. I've been heavily considering just making my own background music if I can't find any that match the scene as I want to create a fake musical that the theatre program is producing, meaning I have a lot more freedom to play around with sound. I've still got some experience left over from my garage-band producer days in elementary/middle-school that I'm most certainly ready to put to use.
Another major piece of audio that is vital would be the foley sounds I need throughout the entire project. A lot I could do myself, like footsteps, doors slamming, soundboard keys, etc., but if I need a unique sound that may be difficult to replicate myself, I'll also use websites that provide public and free sound effects.
I'll also utilize ADR to replace audio if something goes wrong after filming scenes to hopefully minimize any re-shoots to zero. I also need to do more research on audio in film in general as I can feel it's a weak spot for me and I also despise bad audio in film because of how quickly it can take the audience out of the scene and prevent them from feeling the emotional beats of the story. I need to specifically research how to manipulate and add effects to audio in a way that feels natural as I have a scene where I need muffled dialogue between characters that are having a conversation in a booth.
Perhaps I'll turn this into a research blog post...who knows.....muheheheheheh....
