Editing Sound

At first I assumed that editing the sound would be much more difficult and complicated. I was wrong, the same software used for editing the film was used for this, so it required me to use the same technique used for editing the film.

As you can see in the image editing the film was exactly the same as editing the sound. The only thing i had to do was to just press the split clip button to edit the sound from where i wanted it to start and end.















Difficulties

In some cases there was sound, voice over’s and footages being played at the same time in the film, for example when he’s writing the suicide note and reading it aloud, and in the park when he’s screaming as he hears the scribbling. Having to put in place sound, voice over’s and footage simultaneously was difficult.

This image will explain















As you can see Audio 1 is footage, audio 2 is the voice over, and audio 3 is the sound. In the editing section of the image, the first section is of him writing you the suicide note and reading it out load in the voice over, the next block in the editing section is of him writing faster and reading the suicide note loudly because he hears the scribbling in audio 3. Having to arrange this was difficult, since each footage had to be the same length for example the writing of suicide note had to be in the same pace with the voice over and the sound of the scribbling had to be the same length with the footage (as when he writes faster the scribbling gets loader). This required a lot of time and focus, but was made easy since I was able to cut the footage and sound of the scribbling and make it in same pace with the voice over (something which I wasn’t able to cut, since i recorded each voice over once). This was also made easy since I was able to stretch tool to slightly fast forward the footage so it matches the voice over. As I gave the editing process I lot of time, I was eventually able to match all the audios together.
