Afternoon,
So here's the scene. 3 guys in a "4 man raft" (yeah right). Floating down a very calm river. One of the guys is pushed out of the raft into the river and starts splashing around crying for help. The other two sit back and laugh and have a few words of dialogue.
In this instance above, what's the proper way to capture the dialogue? We captured it straight as it played, and of course we got the sounds of the splashing water mixed with the voices. Should we have done a wild dialogue take? With them doing their lines and screaming help without any splashing and then captured the splashing of the water?
In my mind I feel like if I were to turn off the dialogue after it's edited, the scene should still work audio wise... where right now if i did that, we would lose the sound of the splashing.
This is a small production group and we are trying to continue to increase our production value each film we make. For this scene we used an ME-66 directly into a Tascam-60D.
Thanks!
