Things to think about

• What time of day is it?

• What colors are you envisioning?

What did I tell you!

The video edit is the easy part! Audio is where your project will truly shine. Taking your time with audio will make or break the legitimacy of

your work, and separate it from the rest!

Sound and Production

After a film is shot and enters post-production the addition of sound, and sound effects get done

before the musical score is added.

Any sound that is not usable from the take needs to be recreated. This recreated sound is called

FOLEY.

Foley

Foley refers to the process of recording sounds and effects separately and adding them to the final cut of a film or video.

Page 10: Soundscapes

Foley•Replaces sounds that are recorded naturally

•Poor Quality

•Cover up mistakes

•Actual sound created by props may not sound as desired

•Allows for complete control

Page 11: Soundscapes

Foley

•Compensates for oddly/poorly position microphones

•Look to achieve depth and realism

•Go mostly unnoticed if done correctly

•Specialty career: Foley Artist

Foley Artist

• A foley artist is a person, who alone, or on a small team recreates many if not all of the sounds that a movie needs to sound realistic.

MixerThe mixer allows you to see the levels of each track, and adjust

individually using sliders

Page 22: Soundscapes

Meters

Meters give us the over-all volume for the whole project.

We should still aim to be between -6 and -

12

Page 23: Soundscapes

Browser/SearchWe can use pre-set

categories to filter out sounds.

OR

The Search tool allows us to look for

sound effect by typing it in.

Page 24: Soundscapes

Browser / Search• We can also select between:

• Sound Effects

• Music Loops

• Individual Instruments

Page 25: Soundscapes

Timeline and Mixer

• Tracks in the timeline cross list in the mixer. They are identical in every capacity.

Quick Fades• To FADE: Look for the icon that looks like an envelope and drag into your clip

• To SHORTEN: Look for the bracket with the arrows
