It was at this point where we discovered that the workflow was wrong and that we weren’t meant to be synchronising the audio tracks to the picture ourselves.

In this meeting Dave taught us that we need to give all of the audio to the media group, and then taught us that they would return a picture lock to us with an .AAF file or .OMF file, which we could then import into protools to edit the sounds of the dialogue after the media team were finished with their editing.

After learning this it did make a lot more sense to edit the video first otherwise we could have been syncing the audio to all of the takes that wouldn’t have been used.

This meeting was delayed by a week as the filming days fell onto the usual days of our meetings.

After we had finished filming we came back to dave to report on what had happened on the set, all of the good points and bad points, before discussing our next steps. It was in this meeting that we had a misunderstanding with the workflow, leading us to believe that it was our responsibility to sync the dialogue to picture.

We were also able to discuss the possibility of constructing our atmos tracks while the film crew were busy with editing the film because there wouldn’t have been much else for us to do otherwise.

After going to the Home filming and clearing everything up with the media group we were able to finish filming the club scene, and while we weren’t able to record anything from the actual filming on the scene we explained that we had gotten some on-set ADR to fill in some lines for the scene if needed. We were also able to report that we had booked in the dates for the rest of the filming.

In this meeting we were also able to refine our learning objectives slightly more to tailor them more to our own personal needs.

In this meeting with Dave we discussed potential problems that were arising with the film crews, mainly the fact that the media team didn’t know how we were going to be able to record audio in a reverberant space, this problem was caused mainly due to using Facebook messenger to try an explain processes to people that don’t have the same understanding of audio equipment as us, so meanings being lost in translation.

We did still end up going to the Home filming, and once in person we were able to get the radio microphones out and give the team a demonstration on what they looked like and how they worked.

In this meeting Dave told us we need to be focussing on our learning outcomes, for this we decided to approach the film team and ask for their ideal delivery requirements from us so that we could manufacture our outcomes to fit their needs.
