Disposal Blog #7: Finishing Editing

Editing proved to have some major problems along the way, from missed takes, missing footage, as well as unusable audio (despite preparing for the worst). Chapter 1 was particularly difficult in this aspect, being filmed outside and with what was easily the noisiest set (crashing waves aren’t exactly silent). In order to work around this an en masse export of all rerecorded lines into Adobe audition was needed to do major alterations. After managing to make the dialogue sound more distant and natural to the environment (with the help of an accompanying underlying soundscape), all that was needed was to shift the dialogue between the left and right audio channels relative to the given shot, and finally syncing up said dialogue. Presto! Simple. Kind of, not really. It hurt.
