POST PRODUCTION

The edit went on smoothly. The film was more than 5 minutes long and trying to reduce it was a bit hard because the pace in some of the scenes became to fast, like the opening scene. Chris recorded all the sounds which were going to be used to ADR (Automated Dialogue Replacement) the film. Syncing Flynn's dialogue was fine because the voice sounded natural and he was able to match the pace of the film during the recording. Lily's voice was hard because the pace in which she talked in during the filming and recording was different and also her voice was high pitched. Using ProTools I was able to cut some of he dialogue to match her lips but you could tell at certain points that her voice was dubbed.  I tried to overcame this by cutting the dialogue and using the atmos sounds to cover the blank spaces in between the gaps.

During the edit there was a major problem when it came to the music. When Nyle did the sound design, he placed a music which was ok in certain parts but not the whole film. The director was not happy about the music because she wanted a slow smooth song which can create the mood of love like in submarine or 500 days of summer. For me, I liked the music at the start of the film up to the ending of the bus station scene. In the scenes of the montage me and Nyle used different parts of the sound track to fit that scene.

Below are some of the editing screengrabs which show the colour correction and sound design.
