Sound Editing Evaluation

When starting the topic of sound editing, our first was task was to simply collect some footage, of nothing in particular, and add sound to it using sound editing equipment on the Macs. We first of all collected footage from outside of the leaves blowing on the trees and our group of friends fooling around however we didn't think this would be good footage to put sound on so instead we took footage of me and my friend playing table football. We added sound such as audience applause, cheer, laughter when the ball misses, and a cartoon noise when the ball went into the goal. This task was a good way to get us to experiment with sound and get us used to putting sound to it and testing our patience slightly.

Our second task was to add sound to the opening sequence of 'The Dark Knight'. This was very fun to do as you could experiment with the sound and either make it intense or humourus. This time, due to the fast cuts, it was more difficult to add sound as everything was happening so quickly but it did make me get the hang of sound editing more and it was a great and fun way to introduce us to sound editing.
