Editing A Soundtrack.

We need to evidence that we know how to work and record sound on a live location, foley, special sound effects, music, and mixing it all together. If the SCD doesn't have a music piece, it doesn't matter, but we have to make sure that we can prove that we can do this. For example, trying it and then deciding that it doesn't fit or work, we show that we considered it and decided not to.

We have to use soundtrack to edit in terms of effects. We should spot the locked picture to see what we need to change in terms of audio, and it needs to compliment the video production. We should also be creative, and works in terms of our narrative.

We then need to make sure that the sound and picture is synced, and sounds appropriate for the picture on screen.

Sound processing/enhancement/dubbing requires us to use Soundtrack Pro or some other form of audio editing software. A lot of the features we don't really need to worry about, but we can use it to add different effects to our audio. It works a lot like Final Cut in terms of layout, however. We can add multiple audio track to the clip, through sounds that we've recorded, or clips in the audio library. Try and edit/customise files to be creative and get higher grades. Layer effects up and use more than one.
