During the past week in post-production class, we were given the task to edit two different scenes. The first scene we had to edit involved cutting together a scene of dialogue by the seaside.
After editing together the different clips, the audio proved to be a problem. Since the scene was shot by the sea, there were different levels of sound coming out of each shot. This proved to be quite difficult to deal with initially. For example, whenever the audio/video cut to a different shot the audio gain would be way louder than previously or quite quiet than previously. In class, I learned about the audio gain mixer and audio transitions.
I learned about a lot of different audio transitions, such as cross-fades, which helped smoothen out the changes between different audio tracks. This was the same with the audio gain mixer. The mixer assisted me in shifting the gain at different points, so that audio levels remain fairly constant throughout.
Despite one or two, audio problems still persisting, I learned a lot about audio cross-fades and the audio gain mixer this week.
