Story-telling Unit: Editing notes 2

So today I completed my editing for The Meeting. I'm really pleased with the final edit and I managed to get some good music and sound effects to really enhance the whole project. Below are some of the screen shots I took of editing. Including the muffled effect I used for the audio and the blur text I used for my opening and closing sequences.

It took me a while to get the audio just right as it sometimes sounded like it was in the next room rather than a faint daydream background noise. So I increased the muffle and added a similar effect to what I had talked about on a previous blog. Obviously as I'm still learning Final Cut Pro x I know I can edit this into something better in the future but I'm really happy with the outcome.

The added audio effects I used helped to add to the film. I added a girl gang sound for he outside to try and introduce the gang but in a small way. I also added tension sound for the blur sequence and also the vibration of a mobile phone ringing. I felt having these ass added sound effects was a good idea and although it's hard to get the right balance I'm happy with what I achieved.

In the future I think i might also film the sound effects I want to try and get a more natural sound. I feel I spent the right amount of time in editing so I don't think there is much I could have done differently there.

Hope you enjoy the finished project!

Stay safe,

Helen
