The recorder we used We spent the whole of today's lesson recording audio for our thriller. Firstly I took a Zoom sound recorder and recorded audio of a kitchen tap running in our on campus boarding house.

Next we got the actors who play The Henchmen in our thriller to put their boiler suits on and make punching motions so that we could get the audio of the rustling of the suits and sounds of physical exertion.

(shoots Henchman 1) HENCHMAN 1: (screaming in pain) Erik : Now that’s 90 grand in two hours or he loses his finger. I mean this. Don’t believe me? (laug...
