editing & sound

Due to my James' clarity of the order of the scenes in succession to our storyboard and animatic, piecing the scenes together was simple as our finalised scenes were clearly numbered. I was however tasked with layering sound over the visuals. As the film was slightly longer than expected, the song I produced for the film didn't quite fit the duration of the film. The simple solution to this was elongating the track somewhat and having it start partway through the film. This worked well because I could add other sounds before the song begun. The small details of sound which I proceeded to add gave more emphasis to what was happening in the film and helped it to be more immersive. For example, elements like footsteps and breathing made the film much more believable. Despite the fish being in space, I also subtly layered underwater audio to give space more atmosphere which I believe worked effectively. Although there was no speech in the film, I wanted to add panicked noises to the character. I first achieved this by adding radio chatter to the scene with the astronaut. I also added a startled noise to the CEO character to express his surprise. Overall the atmosphere created with the sound worked well alongside the visuals.
