LO3- Audio Editing

 

 

We used audio transition effects such as constant power and constant gain as a way to transition the sound and music we used in our film. We did this because it helped the music and audio to flow well within the film so it didn't sound like the audio levels were dropping and rising constantly, it gave a nice effect and allowed audio to be heard with the music being at a good level. We used horror sounds to connote horror and to add thrill to the film itself, we did this at certain parts of the film where action was happening and bad things were going on, this is to over exaggerate the fact so the audience feel the horror and thrill more.

We used adobe Audition to remove the ambient sound that the mic was picking up we then added our own sound to make the clip sound and look more fluid. We did this because the original sound wasn't as clean or smooth because we didn't have a wind muffler of the mic, and wasn't sounding as we wanted it to sound so getting free audio sounds that's fitted well to the clip was our best option to get the best audio. We had to do this because with the original audio the wind was overly loud and you couldn't hear the characters so we found the frequency of the wind with eq and then cut out the wind and got our own free ambient sound online.

We added a lot of extra audio clips where people who weren't allowed to talk, talked and where the wind was very heavy causing a lot of noise. We also cut down the the audio of these parts using EQ in adobe Audition finding what frequency that sound was happing at and then dropping the sound down for that certain frequency cutting down the audio that wasn't meant to be there and keeping the other parts that we needed.

This is the website Freesound.org which we used to download various audios to use in our film. This proved to be very useful as it offered is a various amount of different sounds so that we were able to pick out the correct one that fit within the scene. After downloading them, we would them add them to premier pro and mix then with the rest of the audio within the film. We used a couple sounds from this website such as the whispers, music and ambient sounds. 

Using the volume editing section of Premiere, we were able to change the audio lower to fit the volume of the rest of our film. All of these techniques were used so that the films opening shot would be loud and clear for the audience to hear. 

We also using slight dubbing techniques within another shot in the first scene. When Ellis charges at Reece and steals his alcohol, we shot multiple takes off this shot from different points in the room. For the shot, we used one audio file and mixed it with the other takes off the shot. So that it felt fluid and didn't distract the audience with audio glitches or cuts. 

Doing this aloud us to create a scene that had multiple different shots that cut seemingly and felt fluid combined with the one audio file that we used.
