Man in the library sound editing

In lesson we all had the same silent film about a man in a library who's trying to read but gets distracted by the sound made by the 3 people and a ticking clock. Once we've seen the short film Tobie sent us out in groups of 4 with a recording device and recorded sounds related to the sound that would be made in the library.

First location was the library where we just recorded the sound of the library which were people talking quietly and people using the computer, tapping on the keyboard.

The next location had to be somewhere quite just so we could make the sound without getting anything in the background. My group went to Hive B to recored but the other groups kept coming into the classroom so we only got one recording. We ended up moving to the performing arts room to recored all of our sounds.

After spending enough time down there to record all our sounds we went back to our classroom where we each downloaded the sound on to our computers and I downloaded the my sounds into a file then got Premiere Pro up, got the film and sound onto it then saved it and put it in the same file with the sounds we recored.

I started to measure and attach some of the sounds to part of the film that it should go to.

Today

I added more of the sounds to the film plus a background sound which was the recorded from the library.

I enjoy recorded the sound because it was fun trying to create a sound to sound like what we want it to sound.

I wouldn't say I haven completely enjoyed adding the sounds to the film, but it has be a bit hard trying to get the sounds at the right pace and right time as the people, who for say swallowing I found that bit hard to get at just the right time as the man/women swallowing.

The different between gain and volume is that gain is used on how loud the sounds on the film whereas the volume is how loud the person turns it up the film to make it louder.

The reason we need balance audio is important because if it's too loud then it won't sound right, so you need it at a certain level so that it'll sound clear and right.
