Correcting Audio Problems

Project 5 Post Production Sound Corrections
Take one of the clips from projects 16-19 and perform post production sound correction. For each of the following you will show the original clip, then repeat the same clip with the sound adjusted. Label each clip so it is clear what adjustment was made. Include the following techniques:

1. Adjust the loudness of the clip.
2. Remove background noise.
3. Remove any hum noise.
4. Use the graphic equalizer to adjust the audio - describe what affect you were trying to create.
5. Add one or more audio effects to your clip. Label what affect you added.
6. Use what ever combination of adjustments or effects to make the final audio the best sound for this clip.
7. Don't forget you title and closing credits with music.

Project 6 Post Production Sound Effects
Find a clip that you have already taken or shoot a new short clip and enhance it by adding sound effects. As an example look at this clip Sound Edits - Peter McKinnon watch from 5:00-6:00. Add at least 4 different sound effects. You may want to also add music that adds to the feel of the clip.

1. Show the original clip and then transition into the new clip with the added sound effects so we can compare the two clips.
2. Add a title and closing credits with music.
3. Submit to Google Classroom.

Remember to start and end shots in a stationary position - remember start recording at least 3 seconds before you start moving the camera and don't stop recording for at least 3 seconds after you stop moving the camera.
