Editing sounds

Now that we filmed all our scenes, we started transferring our files to a new project on Adobe Premier Pro. We were able to log in and use it for free with our school email, me and Anabella shared the project with each other so we can both edit it simultaneously. We don't have a lot of experience with Adobe, but our teacher did provide us with a lot of tutorials a few months back on how to use it and it’s cool features. We also have had multiple lectures on editing from our teacher, so I have been looking back at my notes to help me plan out this editing process. 

 When we were still in our planning phase, we chose a few sounds, and I shared them here on my blog. We are working with integrating certain clips off those sounds into the background of scenes as well as adding in some of the foley sounds me and Anabella recorded this week during the production days. 

 For our foley sounds, we made one for the dad walking in, the leash being clipped onto the dog, the door slamming shut, the door opening, and some more walking. We did all of these with various things we found in Anabella' house. For the footsteps Anabella placed her hands inside her shoes and stomped around while I followed closely with my phone to catch the audio. For the leash clip noise, we took one of those big carabiner clips and snapped it loudly, with again the phone right next to it to catch the audio. 

 When we integrated these sounds into our project on Adobe, we placed the file of audio over the scenes we chose to go with them. The same was done for the audios that I talked more about in one of my planning blogs. For the editing process, Anabella and I decided that we will both work on it, we both know we don't know how to do certain parts as well so we'll just help each other and divide the work that way. We have been able to call a bit to discuss choices in editing, and to edit together.

I have been really liking Adobe so far, I remember it all looked really complicated at the start, but over time I understood the functions and it became simple. I have re-watched a few tutorials on YouTube to be able to see how to overlay things properly and smoothen the audio over a clip, it's been helpful.
