Editing Lesson 3!

Last lesson we concentrated our attention on the appearance of our film but by doing this, we didn't get all of the audio editing done, we thought we had to concentrate more on the appearance than the audio but when we realised audio effects was just as important for us. This was because of the Thriller genre we have been trying to portray relies a lot on non-diegetic sound, so because of this we have decided to use a the backing track which Jay provided and we used this over the top of the film.

We did some of the audio editing last week such as muting the 'buzzing' noise out of the scenes that don't have dialogue. This lesson we imported the track onto the software and edited it into the film, adjusting volume etc. Once it was fully uploaded, we cut the track to fit in with the film so it didn't go over the dialogue. We did this by using the razor tool and using the effects on the software to fade the sound in and out when scenes with dialogue came up. The image below is a print of how we adjusted the volume in the film so that when the music came in after a scene with dialogue in, the voilume wasnt harsh but it faded in.


We finished the audio editing and saved the film as an 'avi' file, then we uploaded it onto YouTube as we thought it would then be easier to upload it as we just embed the file instead of uploading it using 'Blogger Uploader'
