Point Break: Sound editing

Sound editing

In this lesson, I had a chance to use Adobe premiere again, but now, I learned how to transfer audio separately and learned how to adjust audio and blending them all in to create one group of sounds best fit for a video. 

There were many sounds to choose from and they came separately, but in this video of Pointbreak, it was a scene of a crime and the an was chasing the burglar into boulevards to department stores and into houses. Sounds such as screaming, foot steps, dishes crashing, windows shattering and car horns were used effectively.

Here's an example of the original footage from Pointbreak:

Last Friday, I got the chance to play around with Premiere and edited a credits scene inspired by the 1966 film The Good, the bad and the ugly. 

This was what the original credits looked like:   

I tried to achieve a more simpler version of the credits by adding fonts available on Premiere and the Colour Matte option to create a colour back ground to my black images.

After that lesson, it made me realize that editing was not an easy task, it takes a lot of practice and a lot of time to learn the basics.
