LO3 Linking Audio to Visuals and adding Audio Effects

During this scene an alarm clock was added during the transition of the two scenes to mimic the idea of her waking up. It was faded heavily in and out in constitution to the music change in the background, helping the transition between one song to the other. I then lowered the volume of the audio because it was very loud and distracted from other aspects.

This is a screenshot of a piece of music which is playing during the credit scene which I placed an audio transition into fade the music in and out. I used the exponential fade audio transition, but increased the time in which it span to make it more seamless and subtle. I used this effect to transition from the eerie music to the credit music and then fade out, I got the music to fade out with the credit scenes, so when the last scene of the credits has left the music is barely audible and is fading out.

Below are evidence of editing the voiceover, during the beginning and the end. The voiceover was vital for our film and helped the narrative progress and let the audience know what is going on. The voiceover is a compilation of many different quotes, that was recorded as one take. I had to open the file in audition and edit the sound, cutting out any unwanted audio and separating the different parts, which we then proceeded to do in premier also when it was imported in. Also sometimes the speaker took too long pauses between sentences and lines so we had to cut out the pauses. The voiceover in sequence with the eerie music helps create and build the tension, as well as building the narrative. It also helps with escapism, as it allows you to sympathise with the protagonist and understand her story and lose yourself in the fictional story. The voiceover was a combination of the protagonist describing the situation she is in and what the girl in the forest has to do with the narrative, as well as taking a 3rd person view on the situation and analysing it from that point of view. We did this because we were originally inspired by a short film called 'A song for your mixtape' where the voiceover is the voiceover which we were inspired and based our style off. The way the words are said the 3rd person aspect was based off this style, as well as the poetical style. The end of the voiceover was an extract from a poem that I wrote about death and grief, and dealing with letting go.

Charlotte looked through and edited the first half of the voiceover compilation, and I looked through and edited the second half of the voiceover. We consulted each other throughout the process and made sure that each half connected with each other and flowed nicely.
