Today I went around different areas of south London, trying to record the sounds of the street. I was looking for a variation of sounds. To include, quiet street ambience, loud traffic, a couple variations on sirens, and a strong rumble/hum of the city. These sounds will be used in short bursts in the final edit, so having different variations to give the illusion of change is important.

I found that just sitting still in a spot and paying attention the sounds around me for a prolonged period of time worked best, because recordings in which I am on the move created too much unwanted noise on my end. 

I recorded my way from Peckham to Elephant and Castle today. Finishing off with another little foley session. Today I got some ‘marker squeaking’ sounds, which was surprisingly a lot more difficult than I first though (the markers just did not want to squeak at all for some reason) but after lots of trial and error, I got some sounds that I think will do the trick. I also attempted to get some glass smashing sounds, but this proved difficult too. I will see what I can do with layering and manipulating the sounds, but I think I may have to use some library sounds for big glass smashes.
