I found this was the hardest to do, since there were so many different audio recordings of dialogue from different people of different perspectives. It was difficult for me to decide which proximity sounded better for each frame. In addition, having multiple audios of the same line being replayed and having to choose the best one in the situation and frame also added to the difficulty. This was because listening to the same audio repetitively ends up in you getting used to the recording, and the ‘right’ audio being hard to be audible.
We were shown how a motion picture would be edited during postproduction, having everything separated into different tracks, put into groups and colour coded since there would be so much to work through. Every recording would be given to those in postproduction to choose what to keep in the final cut and what to take out. The whole process is long, but Pro Tools is very handy for postproduction. For this artefact, we were just to do the dialogue, but in the full process, there are different ‘sound effects’ that are separated. These include dialogue, sound effects (such as movement), ambient noise and music.
I edited these two dialogue artefacts with Nico since it would’ve been extremely hard to do individually, we assumed, and even doing it as a duo, we found it difficult. We only did the dialogue aspect, listening to all the dialogue recordings and putting the ones we thought fit best with the short film into a new track.
