Sound

I used AoA Audio Extractor to extract the audio from the video files.

I’m using Audacity to edit the sound:

-Noise removed

-Unwanted sounds removed

-Change position of sound

-Add Sound effects

-Render out final sound file

I’m using FL Studio to make music for our movie, I didn’t want to use songs in our movie because I don’t think it will go well with our movie.

FL Studio is a rhythmic beat making software, its mainly for Hip Hop or techno music but I’m attempting to make some movie music with it. If that fails I don’t know what I’m going to do.

I didn't ask Amber for the sound recording thing. The sound we have while filming is very low quality, there is a lot of background noise and a lot of unwanted noise. Our actors don't even sound loud so i will have to amply the sound by a lot (this reduced the quality even more)

Even though i realize that sound has a big role in making a movie successful, i didn't really plan the sound for our movie.

Without sound a movie will just be boring. There could be the greatest visual effects/cinematography in a scene but if there was no sound it wouldn't look as impressive(or just plain boring). I think sound can have a greater impact on the audience then the video. (we listen to music but we don't watch movies with no sound)

-Sound creates emotion in the viewer

-Sound supports what being shown

-Sound gives us an idea of whats happening (even if its not visual)

History of sound in films

-First known Film with (non-synchronized)sound was shown in Paris in 1900

-First known commercial Film with synchronized sound was shown in New York City in 1923

-One of the biggest problem with sound was the volume, before electronic amplifiers were invented.
