During post-production, we had to create two extra pieces of audio to apply and place in to our film. The first was to choice a song for the bus scene of our film and create a headphone effect to this MP3 file.
I decided to create a tutorial on how to do so, along with a compilation of songs that we had considered for our short film product. To create this video, I used screen capture software Hypercam and Sony Vegas Pro 12 to compile and edit the clips. The narration was recorded using Audacity.

In the end, we chose the song Runaway by the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. We felt it, particularly the chorus, expressed similar feelings to what our films character would be feeling and had a much more mellow tone to it than the other song options we had; which were all too heavy or dramatic for our opinion of a social realism based film.
We then contacted the company that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers was contracted to, Warner Brothers Records/Warner Music Group, asking permission to use the piece of music they produced. We had to make sure we mentioned how it was a non-profit student film and how the audio will purely be used for educational purposes.
The next step was to record the argument sequence using two different pieces of equipment; an external camera microphone and a smart phone microphone. This was to see if one gave a better quality than the other or provided any clearer lines.
Lightly following the script we had written, we got two people to act as the parents and record their angry toned conversation. We were not interested in recording any visuals for this scene, as the parents are never on screen, but rather in the background as diegetic background sound.
We did however have an issue with noise in the background, as there were builders on the roof working above us. We picked up noise of their footsteps. This could however be disguised as the parents anger outbursts and footsteps from room to room in the house.
