Adobe Audition is a software I have never used before and had absolutely no knowledge of so I was able to learn a lot from the session we had using it. Before we started creating the audio for the video we made a plan for what sound effects and audios we wanted at each part of the video. In the same way we did for planning the visual effects, we independently made a list of our ideas. Then we each shared our ideas and discussed them to create a joint list. The list below is our joint plan for the videos audio:
The hardest part was finding all the audios and sound effects we wanted. We got them from a range of places including YouTube, IMovie, BBC sound library and some of our own recordings. João was pretty confident with the software and I was able to pick it up pretty fast as it’s not overly complex to use. As a result of this we were able to create a more complex and advanced audio that we had planned. There’s lots of layers to the audio throughout with precise editing in terms of when the audios start and stop and how loud each layer is at what time. We were able to create the audio for the whole video in one session. Below is a photo from our Adobe Audition session:
The next post has the final video with the audio.
