Issues when Editing

1. During the editing process we encountered the issue of shots not matching up. The shot of Phoebe walking into the house was slightly too far back in regards to the previous shot, so it looked like she had walked in twice and it was noticeable that it was a shot-reverse-shot. We only noticed this when we got Mr Wall to watch our film opening and help improve it by giving us feedback. We rectified this problem by cutting the second clip of Phoebe walking into the house (filmed from the inside).

2. Another problem we needed to rectify was the fact that during the conversation scenes Daniel's voice was a lot louder than Phoebe's, mainly due to the fact the microphone was positioned closer to his mouth and the room had a much louder echo due to having less furniture in it. We did not know how to adjust sound and so therefore resorted to looking up YouTube videos which clearly explained how to do so on Final Cut Pro. We lowered Daniel's voice to a similar level as Phoebe's to try and not make the dialog too overpowering.

3. We also had issues when it came to editing the music. It was a similar problem as the previous one mentioned. We used the same skills we used when we lowered Daniel's voice to make sure that the music did not overcome the audio and that the diegetic sounds within the establishing shots and the dialog could still be heard clearly as they were needed for effect.
