ReEdit: Changing the Sound

 

During the start of re-editing, we wanted to work on the sound of our film. We knew that we had to cut or mute the sound to hear the dialogue. As well as make the dialogue louder. These steps wouldn't really overall effect what we already did to the film. And collectively we wanted the music to fade in. As well as keep the music soft so that it's not "overpowering" our scenes. We think that the background music adds suspense since its a slower song. The song also is very sad and talks about losing someone so I think it fits perfectly with the theme. The song fades in from after the first scene where the two friends fight. From there it continues till the end and doesn't fade or stop.
For making our sound stop and not overlap we had to think to previous lessons. I looked through the notes I took at the beginning of the year on editing. It showed how to overlay sound and cut it to make it not go over another part of the dialogue. The example was on a different editor, but all the steps are the same.  After that, I tested it on my Imovie software. It worked so I started fading it. We decided to fade the sound whenever there's dialogue because we didn't want to just cut it. If sound went in and out whenever someone spoke we felt like that would be awkward. So we faded the sound to be not there when there was dialogue but come back louder as the dialogue ends. This is the main thing we had to fix with re-editing.
