Sketchy Sound Design

 As I draw closer and closer to the end of post-production, I've just now realized I'm missing 2 pretty important sound effects, the guttural scream of the husband that Bob hears from the bathroom, and the sound of Bob throwing the teacher's phone after hanging up on his wife, so today I'll be taking care of these 2 sound effects.

I ultimately decided I must be the one to take care of the scream after searching YouTube and PixaBay for screams that fit, so I ventured into my backyard to give it my best go.

I decided my backyard would be the best place to do so because, despite scaring the daylights out of my neighbors, it added a natural echo that would likely make the scream more horrifying and sudden. After using Premeire Pro's SFX features to make the scream sound as if it was coming from outside, this is what the scream looks like over the footage of Bob going to the bathroom.
Additionally, for the sound of Bob throwing the phone, after some toying around with simple object clattering sounds like this:
I ultimately decided that they didn't have enough gravity and thought not only would it be more comical, but also add a whole other beat to add on top of the awful night Bob was already having ifhe threw the phone too hard and it shattered, so I elected to layer the sound of plastic clattering with glass shattering to create this sound:

With these 2 sound effects done, that essentially marks the end of my sound design process and all I have left to do are last minute tweaks and revisions. The end is almost in sight.
