We had just completed filming the second scene. We had in fact finished an hour early so thus decided to edit what we had shot. We stuck together all the clips and trimmed down parts to maintain continuity. Then we edited everything off-screen, such as sound. Unfortunately, we encountered our first dilemma. We did not have sound for when Mr Romanov fell down the stairs. This left behind a very awkward feeling as there was no sound for when Mr Romanov fell down the stairs making it very unrealistic. Our Media Studies teacher, Mr McManus, referred to this conundrum as 'digital silence' which often happens for first-time film makers.
We decided that we should insert an artificial sound behind the footage as we had not recorded audio. After surfing on the internet, we found a video on YouTube which had audio for a person falling down the stairs which sounded very realistic. It was open-source and uncopyrighted meaning that anyone can use it for their projects thus allowing us to use it for our film. This made Mr Romanov falling down the stairs seem more realistic and made it less jarring for the audience.
