Sense of Space- Second day of Recording (Jarman's Garden)

Our second day of recording got us through two scenes, the car scene and the beach scene. The car scene was successful and quite easy to get except for the skidding and the crash. However the beach scene was very interesting due to the constant wind coming from the sea front. The rifle mic had to be positioned just right, but when it was the waves sounded great. It had a real feel of the seaside on a december morning. The cold and windy atmosphere and the crunching footprints of the washed up shells and seaweed. This took me back to Jarman's Garden audio sequence by Sherre Delys were the waves approach the recording and this was something that I really want to capture in the editing process. Just like the movement from Jarman's Garden to the sea nearby, in our scene, a nice transition from inside this characters head to a fading in of the sea waves and atmosphere as the narration tells you that a cool wind is hitting her face. This scene will be effective.
The car scene on the other hand is going to pose certain problems such as finding a skidding sound and finding a crash sound. For this I'm going to record a bin disposal truck in action and cleverly cut it into the edit a few seconds after the sound of the skid.
Altogether the recordings from the first and second day have gone relatively well and we are pretty much ready to begin our rough cut. We took more recording sounds than we needed and at an estimate we have around 40 different sounds that we will consider using in the final cut.
