Sound Editing by ADAM RUTHERFORD

I have found the sound editing to be incredibly difficult with this film as it's completely different to anything i have worked on before for a couple of reasons:

• We are using voice-overs throughout the film instead of using speech direct from the footage
• We are using are own music rather then the tacky and cliche presets offered to us on garage band

The voice-over have proved incredibly difficult to record as we were hoping to use the actors used in the film, however it has proved to be a problematic feat to find time where we are all available to do so. We have opted for the next best thing and used to preforming arts students to do the voice-overs instead. The task of recording has proved difficult in itself as the voice-overs in the film are all based on very tight timing.

The idea to record our own music came easily, as I couldn't be more fed up of the presets on garage band. "Emotional piano" and "delicate guitar" just weren't gonna cut it, making me realise that recording some actual guitar would be a better idea. We enlisted the help of friend and fellow music student Carl Williams to lay down a guitar part with a real Rom-com "Juno" kind of feel. I couldn't be happier with the final result, as i think it fits into the film perfectly keeping to the genre perfectly.
