LO4: Audio levels (jacob)

The main task when editing the audio for the trailer was removing background noise and hissing from the majority of the clips. To do this I selected the audio and used the noise/hiss reduction tool. I then altered the amount of noise reduction so the unwanted background noises was removed and the dialogue was kept intact. We did this to make our film sound more professional.

The other main task when editing the audio for the trailer was syncing up the ticking noise in our backing track with the transitions. To do this we made sure the gap between the ticks was the same length as each segment of footage (starting of at 1 second getting increasingly faster). 2> LO4: Audio levels

When creating The White Room we did not consider recording the audio at a later date so that we could edit it in later and have it sound more professional. This lead to us to have to edit the audio a large amount when creating the trailer.
The largest problem we encountered was a lingering hissing noise which persisted all the Way through the cafe scene which is meant to be dialogue heavy and rather quiet. To fix this problem I used Adobe audition. I have shown how I did below. We needed to remove this sound as that its presence had a negative impact on the professional nature of the product which we were trying to create.

This is the audio which I imported into Adobe Auditon. 

This is the effects menu. From here i went to to Noise Reduction/ restoration and then to "Hiss reduction"  

This is how i succssesfully removed the hissing noise from the cafe sequance. i had to be careful not to adjust the line to far otherwise it could make the audio sound distorted. (below i have included an image of the tool before i have used it

When this was done Me and Jacob did the hiss reduction for all of the audio we created for the film. We found this made the final product appear far more professional and therefore more ready for our audience to see.

The fact that the audios not hissing or echoing helps to reach the codes and conventions of a trailer that would also be made for a professional product as that these would not be in a trailer for a film that would be produced by a large studio.As wells this the ticking noise which is the other major audio feature of our trailer is already an established idea in the thriller genre thanks to the Dunkirk trailer which have annualised earlier in this suit and have stated that we were inspired by during the making of the white room.
