Background noise check

To test out the background noise in our locations, I used the microphone and took it down to Loose valley to record a short clip to see how noisy it is in the background and whether or not this would be a problem in filming. I only recorded a 5 second clip in each of the 2 locations in Loose valley, and one had a lot more background noise than the other.

Here is the background noise from the stream

And here is the background noise from the alley

As you can see, the background noise is a lot less from the stream than from the alley. The majority of background noises from the stream was the stream itself, and the ducks, and occasionally a car drives past. However the alley is right next to an extremely busy and loud road, so this may be a problem in filming but we can edit this in post production to make it less of a problem.
