Today was our last day on set, which we were filming out at the abandoned building. Today we were able to get hold of two radio mics for the actors, however we ran into trouble with the 633 and its recording. We managed to get all three tracks recorded ok for the most part but for some take only the boom would record without the radio mics. Unfortunately, due to time constraints we didn’t have time to rectify the problem on set as we were unsure how and finding someone to aid us would have stopped the filming for that day as we were on location. Fortunately, the two actors we recorded dialogue with that day are university students so any takes that are completely unusable we would be able to get the actors in for ADR. One further problem we encountered on the day was that it was extremely windy, and the wind was really ripping through the building. This meant we really had to think about where we were positioning ourselves, a lot of the time we position ourselves between pillars or walls as to not get the wind directly into the mic, however this was not always easy with particular camera angles, so proved to be quite the challenge.
