Yes another post on how to help Fares… I’m a good friend I know.

So in addition to my research on the software audacity. Of our biggest sound effects is the gun shot sound that will be inserted as Fares whips around to then see Kevin. To make it startling, knock him out of the monologue something needs to be realistic. This one article by A Sound Effect, mentioned that if you didn’t have a real firearm, you could use a balloon popping, fireworks, pop its, etc to have a convincing gunshot sound. This is just to help, because when you first think of how to record a odd sound effect, like a gunshot, you’re like ahhh. So I definitely wanted to look at this for myself, to know and be of help of what could be done. If Fares, wanted to go in depth of a gunshot, they have layers of where you could use like the sound of fire or electricity bursts just enhance the weapon. This could be useful since we are filming a science-fiction film, mechanics and overrated sound effects give the sound dimension and modernization of where the weapon is from.

All in all I thought this was cool and a good way of looking at how to record weapon sounds. The article continues on how to record punching, kicking, smacking, more physical action sounds. Which is added information but still good to look at for future reference.
