LO4: Audio Levels

In one of the audio files, there was an error in the microphone, which meant that the audio sounded crackly, which was fixed by the Decrackler effect found in the effects panel, which removed the crackly effect.



The music added to the visuals was appropriate to the genre, since the royalty free version of the song Deck the Halls, since that is a song clearly associated with Christmas. The audio was edited using effects on Adobe Premiere, since the audio only needed small amounts of editing. The editing required was lowering the level of the audio at certain times during the times where the people were speaking in the vox pop. The audio was lowered from 5.0dB to -8.1dB as you can see in the screen shots below:






Changing these levels on Premiere created a smooth effect audio fading in and out. Once actors had stopped talking I changed the levels to change back from -8.1dB to 5.0db in order for the music to be heard just as loud as before.
