Sixth Sound Editing Update:

Before breaking up for Easter Break, I found that some of the new footage from the reshoots sound had not been recorded properly. This was due to no boom microphone being booked out along with the rest of the equipment, meaning that sound was being recorded straight from the Tascam with all of the raw sound included. Due to attending a funeral, I was not at the shoot to record the sound with Aimee taking my place for that day. The poor quality of the sound is not Aimee's fault however, but the fault of whoever failed to book any sort of microphone out along with the rest of the equipment. As sound operator it is technically my responsibility to make sure equipment like microphones are taken out but the equipment had already been taken out before I'd even had knowledge of the reshoots taking place. I should have made sure the microphone had been put on the list when whoever it was booked the equipment, though it should have been obvious to them to put a microphone on the list regardless.

However, after coming in during the Easter Break, we found that we could take the sound captured from the camera's in-built microphone and quickly eliminate some of the background noise within the audio, clearing the sound quality. I had done this previously for one of the scenes where the Tascam audio had been lost through a long process using the Audacity software, but this was a quick way of doing the same thing via a simple command in Premiere Pro. This has save me a lot of time and I wish I had found out about this trick sooner for some of the other footage I was having trouble with.

It came to a point where there was only a small 15 second segment where there was no audio at all from one of the pieces of footage that was not labelled but thankfully Aimee and I were able to finally find the right piece of audio. So now at least the entire run-time has the clearer audio, I just need to fix certain parts of it and then add in all of the other sound effects, sound beds and music which I am currently starting work on.
