Editing Post (audio)

Audio

During my post-production, I focused especially on refining the audio by using some background noise nullifier to nullify the noises like my fridge, and some bad echoes in the background.  I reduced background hum and also adjusted the voices to make sure the voices were clear and balanced to my liking. 

Next, I found some Royalty-Free music to accompany my 3 beginning scenes, I went onto Pixabay and searched for instrumental, dramatic and orchestral music that fits my opening perfectly. The song I chose is, "Cinematic Calm Dramatic Theme" by Luis_Humanoide and put it into 2 scenes loud and clear and 1 scene it was quieter so my main character could monologue. I also faded the music between the 2 scenes to make it feel more synchronized and professional. 

Additionally, I cleaned up the dialogue audio by raising the volume on certain scenes where I had trouble hearing the audio, I also split some scenes where I was able to hear my friend saying "Action," I refined some more audio and I was done.

Overall, The audio editing process is short but very crucial to my opening project. By cleaning up dialogue, adjusting pacing, and adding subtle music to parts where it felt needed, I enhanced tension and realism into my opening. The final result supports my themes of secrecy exactly the way I envisioned.
