Editing Blog: Titles and Audio

Another day, another editing blog. Welcome back everyone! Today, I'll be wrapping up the editing process by working on sound a title placements. To finish all the visuals, I decided to leave any auditory editing for last. I began by pulling up the storyboard I made prior to filming and consulted it for the placement of of the titles. After reviewing this, I had to play around with the options for editing I had on Capcut. The font, size, and color of the titles were all things I also had to double check. One by one, I placed the titles in their respective places. However, I also had to see in what order they had to be written in. Once I was able to grow confident in my editing, the rest went smoothly. Sound editing was next. The songs and sounds had been picked out prior to editing, but it was still one of the most nerve wracking parts. Especially with the way they I wanted to switch between non diegetic and diegetic sound. I had to play around with the sound as well as I just had a vague idea of how I wanted the video to come out. I found 3 different sounds to incorporate. The first was slightly upbeat. This would serve as a contrast to the horror genre so when the more frightening music would begin, it would be an abrupt shift. This would reflect the feeling of fear that tends to settle in somebody’s stomach as they realize they’re in danger. The second sound would be this frightening sounds. The third would simply be perhaps a different soundtrack of a sound that fits this fear and horror genre. This creates some sense go variation to perhaps keep the watcher engaged, but not be too random. Finally, I plan to review the sounds in my next blog where I will cover the perfect final details. And that’s all for today! Until next time.
