use sound to create impact

• Synchronise Sound and Vision- See blog post of synchronising rushes for this.
• Mix Soundtracks
• Overlap Sound
• Offline Editing
• Online Editing 

Mixing soundtracks is where you may have say, two sound tracks that come in at different points on the timeline and so instead of playing them one after the other you create another audio track and place one on top of the other; using key frames to fade them in and out when you want them to. If you want them playing at the same time this is also possible with this method. See link below for a tutorial on how to do this.

Overlapping sound in the editing suite is done to create a certain effect, such as say the whole point of the scene was to disorientate the audience or to fade slowly between the two soundtracks. Such as the ones in my AS level work 'Its Not Just A Game' where we wanted to disorientate the audience by overlapping the scene where the girl is writing on paper, she is saying three sentences all at once and so you only catch snippets of what she is saying, which is there to disorientate the audience and puts them on edge for what is going to happen next.

 

 

Offline editing for sound is pretty much the same principle as you editing your video clips offline this is where you place all of your sound and clips that coincide together down on the timeline this is where you edit and finalise what things are gong to sound like.

 

Online editing some people argue is the same thing as the online editing that is done when you are colour correcting (see segment on this topic in another section on my blog) where they make sure that everything is fine tuned and any 'noise' is taken away and everything is made to sound the best it can do.
