Film Opening Update 10

Film Opening Update 10

Recently I have started doing an overhaul of the audio in the film opening. To start with I cut some of Dan's dialogue as I felt that it started to ramble counter-productively. Then I used the separated Dan's lines from Amber's lines and used the mixer(seen below) to put them into different tracks so that I could make use of stereo-phonics to create effect  by making  Dan's dialogue only play through the left and Amber's play only through the right, the reason I put Amber on the right and Dan on the left is because of the old notion that the right hand is good and the left hand is evil.

After I did this I decided that I wanted to make the music get quieter when there is dialogue as it sounded quite cluttered and obscured the dialogue when it was playing at full. So I rearranged the music into two different tracks as seen below and made the part of the music playing under dialogue quieter and put a fade over the end and start of the adjoining parts of the music so that it gets progressively quieter instead of jumping quieter, which I think is the better way of doing it. I also did the same after the dialogue ends, but instead of making it quieter it returns to its initial volume.

 

After I had done this I put some reverberation effects over the dialogue to reflect that it is inside Red's head and that the voices are imaginary, Dan's voice being the evil side of Red and Amber's being the good.
