Editing (Volume, SFX & dialogue) blog

The editing was hard and took a while to do. I had to go and think about all the things I might have missed in my first edits. There was the fact that the music and the audio was not correctly tuned. To tune it and level it out was difficult. I had to figure out which one I would want louder. The voices of the song and this fluctuated based on the scene that we were doing. On the first scene with the music I made the voice louder than the music. I could of just turned down the volume of the music. That wouldn’t work because I feel like the music was an important part of the scene and I just had to do it right. So instead I made the sound of the voices louder. This was beneficial as now the scenes wouldn’t be overrun by the loud music. The second scene I did I had to make the music louder than the voices and the audio from the video. The audio straight from the video didn’t add anything to the scene. It was just irritating background noise that I had to remove so that’s exactly what I did. The music that I previously found was used to fill in the dead silence. The music also acted as bring suspense to the scene. The way I found that song was to look through a plethora of websites. I had to find royalty free music that fit my scene. It had to be suspenseful and with a little bit of digging I finally got it and used it in the scene. Also during some scenes I added different sound effects to really emphasize what might be going on in the movie. It was hard editing the sound but I figured it out.
