The document provides a production log summarizing the placement of sound effects and music in a short film. An urban song called "Pass Out" was used for the opening scene to relate to the main character. An "alarm clock" sound effect was added to coincide with scenes of an alarm. The climax scene uses divided rushes of forest sounds with varying volume enhancements. Music was added to a "Chinese whisper" scene to change the mood and pace. An overview lists all sounds used throughout the film, including the opening song, climax forest sounds, and alarm clock.
