Director Journal Week 9

Finally our shooting comes to an end. Here comes the editing process of the video. For your information, I’m responsible for the audio searching to find the most suitable background music and sound effect for our PSA video project.  So far, I have found a few suitable tracks, however it’s not enough if director have other sound effect request.  Though we might think of film as an essentially visual experience, we really cannot afford to underestimate the importance of film sound. A meaningful sound track is often as complicated as the image on the screen. The entire sound track is comprised of three essential ingredients:

·         the human voice

·         sound effects

·         music

These three tracks must be mixed and balanced so as to produce the necessary emphases which in turn create desired effects. However we do not have voice over/dialogue in our video, hence only sound effect and music will do. Background music is used to add emotion and rhythm to the video. Usually not meant to be noticeable, it often provides a tone or an emotional attitude toward the story.
