Editing Review- Audio

Through-out the editing process, we have made a variety of changes and additions to our sound. these include;

Slowing down sound- we slowed down the voiceover of the mother speaking so it would fit correctly within the footage and also for dramatic effect. We thought that it would build up tension and create a sombre atmosphere if she were to speak slower.

Reversing sound- in the second half of our Ident we decided to play the non-diegetic sound of a Chinese Cymbal in reverse. We have done this in order to create a sense of disorientation that was established through the 360 degree spin of the top of a tree. We picked the sound of a Cymbal because it helps attract the audiences attention while still sounding subtle.

Transitions- we decided to put transitions into every piece of sound we used (with particularly evident ones in the 'Promises to Keep' soundtrack. We did this because we wanted the sound to progress before reaching its loudest volume, this effect was achieved through adding transitions

Splitting sound- in our second minute of footage we decided to include the 'Steel and Seething' soundtrack and then split it into two halves. We did this because we wanted the climax of the soundtrack to fall into a particular piece of  footage in order to correctly build up tension and drama.
