Blog Post #32 - The Audio Editing - 3/29/2022

 

So one main thing that needed to be covered during the editing was the Audio! Audio and Sound are basically one of the most important factors when it comes editing a film. So obviously it was one of the main things Abdullah had to cover while working on editing. We struggled with this the most, we reviewed the footage so many times, tried to find good background music a lot of times, but we just couldn't find something that was just right. For starters, we had issues with the flexibility of the Audio since we'd end the scenes abruptly after filming ended that caused tons of issues with audio transitions to different scenes. But we managed to solve that since we were cutting scenes regardless due to issues with space so we kept ambient noise by having audio from one scene fade into another. Another issue was the title card scene to kept it on the screen long enough for the viewers to read. We had no Corresponding Audio so it was hard to make the sound be good. We then used a program known as Audacity to create manufactured sound and it was hard, but sounded pretty natural by the time we finished! We also used a technique to reach a decision on what to do with the sound of the transition between the second and third scenes, that technique being where we would crossfade the audio and we added some low value during the transition as well.
