I learnt that you always need to record a buzz track. A buzz track is background noise, for example, chatter, or traffic. This is important because in between each sound effect you need some sort of filler to represent reality because the world is never completely silent. A buzz track will run through the entire film.
I've enjoyed the editing and recording of the sound clips and I think that recording the clips was fun because I had to think about what would sound like what's represented on screen. For example, I had a water bottle and a lunch box, and shook them both at the same time to capture a sound of ice in a glass rattling.
I found it difficult to match up the "mass ssshing" towards the end of the clip because we recorded one solid sound and it was hard to make it sound like more than person, and to match up the start and stopping of the "ssshhing" of the video to make it sound natural. In the end I divided the sound clip into three, and I adjusted the gain of each clip to different levels to create the illusion that it was three different people.
I think I could improve by recording more sounds and recording the sounds whilst we were watching the video to get the timings and consistency of each clip just right.
Balanced audio is important to stop the audio clip becoming distorted.
Gain is the input and volume is the output.
