18/11/10 - Reflection

In today's film class, we had finished collecting the last of our footage of sound from various everyday items and prepared to upload it onto Final Cut Pro for editing. Some problems that we had to take into account were how we were going to layer the film to create the maximum sound effect and also how background noise was going to ruin our sound effect. As we began to import, we picked out the best takes, which were the ones with the least background noise and the best quality of the effect we wanted to have. For example, the sound of water dripping had to be constant and the time between the drops of water also had to be right for the atmosphere of silence. After taking all these problems into account, layering the sounds was quite easy as all i had to do were to trim the clips to the part where when the sound starts and ends and put them together.

We were satisfied with the finished product as we thought it represented the situations we chose quite well. We had also gathered quite good footage of the sounds and that made it easier for us to edit on the computer. I was knowledgable today as i had learnt quite a lot about sound in the previous class and applied my knowledge of sound to create a few sound effects. Everything went smoothly today and we didn't encounter any major problems. I think we managed our time really well as we had completed our project before class ended and had time to look over it and make some final changes.
