Phase 3 - Sound

As an introduction to phase three, Marc has given us a briefing on sound with the movie
"The Conversion" by The Director's Company. This movie is interesting because it examines a conversation with three different microphones placed in different positions. It is through careful editing that the main character finds out what the man was saying to his friend in a noisy background. This leads us perfectly to our phase 3 because sound is something that travels around with no exact location where receivers in different location will have a different depiction of it. The way I understand phase 3 is that we are supposed to record 1 sound in its existing environment and create 1 sound which is a constructed with different sounds. The goal is to make both the sounds sound like it is constructed by emphasizing on the layers of sounds to understand the matter more in depth.

I just have one question at this point: Can we record sound using cell phones or do we have to use some high tech equipment?
