P6: Post-production Edits to Sound Elements

 P6: Post-production Edits to Sound Elements 

After I recorded my foley sounds, they needed editing. I decided to use Adobe Audition to edit my foley sounds and voiceovers because the software is specifically used for sound and other professionals would also use the software. In this report, I will talk about the different techniques I used in Adobe Audition to edit my foley sound and produce my final product.

 
 
 I will take you through the process of my editing. First, I cut down the audio using the time selection tool. I did this by listening to the audio and dragging what section I would like to delete.
 
 
 I used the denoise tool for most of my audio to remove the unnecessary background sound. I would scale this to make sure that the background noise is removed but the foley sound quality was not effected.
 
 

Here you can see  I also used the parametric equaliser for some foley sounds. This tool ensured that the audio volume was stable throughout the audio clip.


For my swipe effect foley sound, I used the echo effect. This sounded like a plane flying which is the intended purpose of this foley sound. I also used the convolution reverb.

 I increased the sound for a few foley tracks by increasing the decibels. 


 
 
 
Once I finished my editing, I exported my foley sounds into a WAV format. WAV files are loseless which means that the audio files are the highest quality they can possibly be.


Once I finished editing my audio, I imported my foley sounds into Adobe Premiere Pro alongside my animation. First, I placed in my foley effects to match the animation. I used the razor tool to cut down or seperate any foley sounds.

 

 I then used the pen tool (for example I used the pen tool for the violin music which you can see above) to gradually change the volume of the music.

 When exporting the finish product, I decided to export in H.264 high bitrate. This means that the file is high quality but a larger file size.




                                      This is my Club Europe animation with foley sounds too.


 

I have not used Adobe Enhancer for this version of my animation since I will use this while I act on my feedback in D1. Adobe Sound Enhancer is an online tool created by Adobe. You import your voiceover recordings and the tool creates studio like audio quality for you.

P4: Final Planning Materials

P4: Final Planning Materials In unit 2, I learnt about the different preproduction documents created to aid the production of media products. For my foley sounds, I have created a script (includes dialogue) so I can record a voiceover for my animation, asset tables to help me collect my assets together and show the legal information. Furthermore in my P3 post, you can see the storyboard I created to show the chronological sequence of my scenes, a GANTT chart so I can plan our the timeline and deadlines for this project, a recce, materials list to explain what materials I will use to make my foley sounds. Club Europe Animation Script The UK, France, Spain and Italy are just a few countries home to some of the most famous tourist attractions: Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, The Louvre Museum, The Eiffel Tower, La Sagrada Familia, The Leaning Tower of Pisa….
