Our sound editing process!

 Hey guys! SO, I finally finished sound editing! (Well for the most part, we still need to add some clips, but that's okay...)

Since I was the sole person in charge of editing the sound, I felt a lot of pressure, and I still do!! I had to do some reaalllly professional stuff, but it ended up working out perfectly. Let me walk you guys through the process!

So this was me before learning the wonderful clip that I found on Google. I was actually so upset because having to voice over and match the voice to the lips was something that we as a group really really wanted to avoid because it just adds a lot of extra work. While filming, we had some interruptions in the sound thanks to the Sound of Thunder, our school's band. And in the clip, you could hear them SO easily, and we were NOT having it. I was freaking out because I really did not want to have to ask Mariana and Isabel to send a voice over. So, I went to Google and looked up how to remove background noise on Adobe Premiere Pro, and I found this beautiful and helpful website. I'll link it down below so you guys can check it out! But I successfully figured out how to remove the background noises, thank GOD, and it really helped make our video soo much better since you can really hear Mariana and Isabel talking. Now that I know this, I definitely see myself using it in the future.  
After I got this figured out, I looked far and wide to find a "school" background noise, and it took me so long for absolutely no reason. But then I did find it, and it sounds really good. Yay! Today, I also added in a bell sound effect to transition the scenes to alert the audience that we are now in a school. It took me a while to make the sound how I wanted it to, such as making it higher or lower at the right spots. 

That's pretty much all of the sound editing that I accomplished since we are not yet done filming!! We still need to film the establishing shots of the school on Monday since Isabella and Mariana forgot to do it, and I wasn't at school. Mariana is going to be filming the montage shots tomorrow, so I really am hoping to finish the opening scene of the film! Once I am done adding all the shots in, I can add the background music. Isabella and I looked for different options that we could use. I'm just currently waiting on feedback from them on which song to use! This is really exciting stuff; we are almost at the end of the project! 

WONDERFUL website that I used, and it can help you too! Click me!
