Background Noise

Similar to day one of filming, we faced issues related to background noise on day two. However, the nature of these challenges was different due to the contrasting environments we were working in. On day one, we had more control over the background sound because we were filming indoors. The controlled environment allowed us to minimize the impact of background noises, making it easier to focus on capturing high-quality audio. 

On day two, we were outside, which made the background noise much harder to manage. We strategically chose to film on a weeknight, believing the area would be quieter compared to busier weekend times. Our hope was that fewer people would be around, and the general activity in the area would be minimal. However, the are turned out to be busier than we anticipated. There were constant sounds from people, cars, and restaurants and it became increasingly difficult to isolate the desired sounds and maintain the level of audio quality we wanted to achieve. 

We had to adapt and brainstorm solutions on-the-spot, including repositioning our equipment and trying to work around certain peaks in noise levels. But despite these solutions, the challenges from outdoor filming were almost unmanageable.
