Sound

The editing of the sound at first was quicker than we thought it would be. All of the music was from a reliable noncopyright source, and it fitted the action surprisingly well. It was also very different to handle than video footag, and so took all of us some getting used to before we could really handle it.

It was a learning curve when managing it, and so now we are prepared the next time the need for music and sound arises. We couldn't specify a point for all areas where the music would change without the voice-overs present, and so we have to wait until they are edited in before we can finish off the last of the music.

We didn't use many music tracks when editing, we instead used certain parts from each song and applied them to the fitting section. I think this was a better idea than using lots of different tracks, as a similarity in the music can be heard and a theme is better established with each character.

The excersice routine was really the only music situation we struggled with. Obviously Eye of the Tiger is under copyright so that wasn't an option. The tracks on the website we got the music from were plentiful, but unfortunately not quite what we needed here. After about 40 minutes of searching, Laura and Sophie finally found a fitting track named 'Tough Titty' to use. The seperate roles we played whilst editing worked well. Laura and Sophie were searching for music and sounds for a few lessons, whilst me and Sam focused on editing.

We should have switched roles more often to ensure that we all improve in different areas, but with time being of the esence, and getting too comfortable with what task we were each trained to, this didn't cross our minds very often.
