Second Sound Edit Update- Cereal Offenders

I was able to continue more sound editing as I was given the rest of the scenes to work with for now. I did very much the same as previously when editing the sound, doing my best to work around some of the minor problems found during the still rough edit. I did make some amendments to the actual edit of the footage in order to help the continuity slightly, though i didn't do this too much as not to compromise the edit altogether. By the end of the day, I had successfully edited the audio into the individual scenes. Unfortunately there were a few clips that hadn't been properly labelled. These were the ones that were captured on the first day of the shoot week where the camera had not recorded any sound, making it much more difficult for us to work out and match the audio and footage for those scenes. I left these for now in order to concentrate on the scenes where I could match the audio and will come back to those scenes at a later date.

The only problem I can foresee with this way of working is the projects might get confused when transferring from them from one system to another, making me worry that some of my work might get lost. We just need to take care to clearly communicate which projects contains the latest version of the edited scenes.

On another note, I was able to successfully match the ADR that had been previously captured for Ralph's hallucination with the footage, editing the entire scene myself from scratch. The ADR matched with the footage, particularly a close-up of Ralph, surprisingly well and worked well with the flower voices recorded by myself and the other fellow student. After showing this to Will, the director, he was happy with how it had turned out, meaning we no longer have to reshoot that scene.
