While shooting my film project, one of the biggest challenges I encountered was managing background noise in the cheer gym. The space is naturally echoey, which amplified sounds, and with multiple teams practicing simultaneously, it was often chaotic. There were layers of noise, including music, loud counting, and bursts of cheering, making it difficult to find a quiet spot for clean audio. However, some of this ambient sound adds valuable context and energy to the scene, so I want to keep a portion of it in the final edit. Moving forward, I hope to explore ways to reduce ambient noise without losing the atmosphere—whether through better microphone placement, soundproofing equipment, or post-production techniques like noise reduction filters.
