PHONE RAGE! How i made it?

PHONE RAGE! How i made it? 
Concept: I decided to make a short comedy film that could be put on Instagram or you tube and needed to be about 60 seconds. My idea came from watching my friend talk to his mum on the phone, and it was that his mum phoned him and then asked if he could do a couple of chores around the house which he said yes but wasn't too happy to do, then she asked him about his day and what he was doing later and so fourth. i could see how annoyed and frustrated he was getting from the conversation, so in my film i took the frustration to the next level by making it similar to cartoon such as Tom and Jerry or Loony Toons. 

Audio: I recorded the audio using a directional Rode mic which pics up more sound from the direction its facing rather than the background. this was important as a lot of my idea involved dialogue with a bit of background noise from the TV as that gave context to why my character was getting frustrated as all he wanted to do was watch TV in silence. I gave the film a comedic sense by adding in sound effects such as the little voice coming from the phone and some crashing for when the frying pan comes out. I got the sound effects off of a website called Freesound were people upload sounds for other people to download and use.
Footage: The filming side of the project was fairly easy as i already had the shot angles in my head. However i did have to change one as there was no way i could position the tripod and camera in the place it needed to be, but i feel like it ended up quite well. The hardest thing was matching the audio to the footage i.e. the sound effects. I used my camera which is a Canon 700D to film it on.
