Post-Production: Sound Editing Decisions

 Introduction

Howdy everyone! Welcome back to our continuation of our conversation about the post-production process! Just to clarify, I am the editor for this film! In this film opening, I used sound effects like the sound of someone banging on the door, or the sound of hands slamming on the desks. We also used simple dialogue, so that our audience can understand the context behind each scene. Last time we talked about visual editing decisions, but now we are talking about audible editing decisions. 

"What do you mean by audible editing decisions?" Well, this means the sound choices we picked for our film! Sound can be a variety of things, like:

• Dialogue
• Sound effects
• Music

Sound in film is important, because it helps the audience feel like they are inside the scene. Real and simple sound effects give viewers that effect. It also helps the audience gain clarity for a scene. I will be displaying my team's sound editing decisions for you guys!

Sound Editing Decisions

Reflection

Honestly, deciding what sounds to use for this film was the hardest part for me. It was hard to even out the sounds in this film too, because of how some scenes have really loud background noise. I tried my hardest to mute out most of the noise, so I hope it doesn't take away from the film at all :(

But incorporating sound in our film was satisfying after all. Hearing the sound effects and dialogue loud and clear really makes me feel like I did a better job than I was expecting, so that's nice! :)

Thank you for reading! In this blog post, I talked about my group's editing decisions and how it affected us in the end. I hope this is informational for you! P is signing off!
