EDITING - Podcast

Adding the Podcast

    In my last blog post, I added the opening credits. Today, in this blog post, I will be adding the podcast to my film opening. The podcast is a major part of the second scene, so I will take extra care as I incorporate it into my film opener today.

Podcast

    Since I have already produced and edited the podcast episode itself, the only thing for me to really do is add it into the film opening. I did this by using the audio files feature to import the media. However, what I like about this clip is that I was able to cut a few seconds off the podcast. This was necessary because there is a point where the podcast fades out to highlight the voice-over.

    During this step I also had to align the voice-over properly so that it started where it was meant to. This took me quite some time because I had an idea for the timing of the voice-over to start the beat after the podcast's sound faded. I thought of this when I initially recorded my voice-over and incorporated it. My biggest challenge was aligning the two audios in just the right way, but all it took was some patience and eventually I got it.

Reflection

    Even though I had a few minor setbacks, the editing process for today went very smoothly. I think this entire process of learning to create a major film project requires a lot of patience and adaptability. I truly believe I have grown in those areas a lot more, especially because I tend to struggle with both of those qualities. In my next blog post, I will be adding the final audios to my film opening and end my work on this project.

    Until then, farewell!
