 Fixing the Audio 

    Welcome back! Today, I just wanted to share how I fixed the audio on some of our clips.

    What I wanted to do in this process is make it so that any sudden noise that we had or any non-needed noise was adjusted so that we didn't have conflicting audio. So, that meant any loud noise, like the TV static and the thud that they heard come from upstairs, was raised so that the viewer watching would also get scared. 

    In this picture, you can see how I adjusted the volume of that specific section so that the thud could be heard. 

    In the pictures below, you can see how I muted some background noise. In the first picture, this was the clip we wanted to use; the only problem was that a person in the background dropped something, and there was a loud noise. We really wanted to use this clip because we didn't like the other ones we took, so instead of replacing the clip, I just turned the volume all the way down so that it couldn't be heard.

    In the second picture, I muted a section where the mic caught the rustling of our actor, Ana, moving the blanket.

 

Now that that's done, our film will sound authentic without any bothersome sounds.
