POST #32 - SOUND
In terms of diegetic sound, the only piece of it will be in the opening scene, before the song starts. When Alan is on the phone, I want to record the real audio from the actor pretending to have a phone call. The other end of the phone call won't be diegetic though, it'll be edited through Audacity and by recording my two other actors separately.
Non-diegetic sound is going to be quite heavy. Ignoring the song itself over the entire music video, I also want to use some audio I captured at a concert I've been to previously. During a lull where the artist had to tune her ukulele, she asked the audience to entertain themselves for "5 seconds". The crowd started singing All Star, to the sarcastic dismay of the artist. Her backing band joined in too, playing music to accompany the crowd's singing. Luckily, I recorded the entire thing, so I can use clips of audio of it for when I want a large crowd singing the song.
As mentioned before, the phone call at the beginning will be partly diegetic, partly non-diegetic. I have two actors willing to record lines of dialogue to represent the unseen patricipants in the phone call. Using Audacity, I want to replicate the effect of phone call audio, where it's slightly muffled. Then I just put it on top of the footage, where I'm planning on leaving silence while filming.
I also want some meme sound effects sprinkled in the video, where appropriate. These include, but aren't limited to:

- Airhorns
- "!" Sound from Metal Gear Solid
- Excerpts from songs like "Mad World" and "Watcha Say"
I don't want lip-syncing throughout the ENTIRE video, only at certain places. Specifically, when Alan is practicing, when playing in front of the talent scout, and at a final big performance. Aside from that, no lip-sync during the rest of the video.
