Linking Audio to Visuals and Applying Audio Effects

When you drag footage into the timeline in Premiere Pro the audio is automatically linked with that footage. However in some cases we had to add extra audio clips e.g Music tracks, to do this we dragged the music to an audio channel below the footage and lined it up with the correct clip. In some instances we had to cut the music before it ended which caused it to stop abruptly and ruin the immersion. 

To solve this we used the audio effect 'volume' to gradually reduce the clips volume by key framing the audio levels adjustment.

 

Editing Music

In terms of editing music I had very little to do, a music clip was used in one short clip however and had to be cut using the razor tool, as the music had to stop quickly so it ended at the same time as the footage that it was paired with.

Ambient Sounds

During the scenes in the woods ambient forest sounds were used to build up suspense, but also to inform the viewer of where the film was set and fully immerse them in that environment.
