Editing, session two.


Having regulated our mishap and finally having a proper chance to edit, we each settled on a scene to begin editing.

I chose the opening scene, and considering the location and sound effects needed I had to take the following into account:
 - Gary and his friends are in the pub
 - Gary's two friend's voices needed to be pitch shifted
 - Gary's mobile needs a message tone
 - Gary gulps the rest of his pint before leaving

After been shown how to use Soundtrack Pro to edit, e.g the blade tool, lowering and rising volume levels, blending in sound effects. We got on with it, admittedly things were slow to begin with, being unfamiliar with the sound effects available and the software at hand, but over time we got more and more adept at it.

The section I had most trouble with, aside finding the most perfect background accompaniment and individual sound effects, was the pitch shifting of Lisa's and my voices. I had to slice the track and place it onto a second row to then edit using the available effects at hand then play with them accordingly to get the desired effects.
