Throughout the editing process of my short film I learnt alot on how to navigate around iMovie. For the bringing sequence of my film- the titles- i wanted all the clips to be in slow motion with not diegetic sound for the clip. In order to do this, i had to slow down the clips individual and mute all on going sounds in them. Once i had done this I opted to add sound of the top which was 'Drone Dark Suspense 1' which came with iMovie and a recording of children's voices which I found on YouTube. I though i found it on Youtube, i could not convert it straight on to iMovie so i had to use my iPhone 6 to voice record the sound and then upload it to iMovie. Although there is probably and quicker and easier route to get this done, my way worked successfully.
In the second scene of my film, there is a voice over of a psychologist/counsellor. I again recorded this on my phone and uploaded it to iMovie. Also on this clip, there is diegetic music playing from a jewellery box in the shot. I opted to keep this music playing as well as i feel it gives a suitable eary feel and coincides with the children's voices at the beginning of my film. When I first began to edit this section the diegetic music was too overpowering of the voice over. To resolve this I turned down the clip sound slightly and increased the voice over. This gave the perfect balance of sound.
Furthermore, at other stages of editing my film I had to get to grips with splitting a clip in order to create the fast moving pace i wanted in some aspects of my film. Along with this, i wanted to slow down a clip but keep the same audio playing over the top. To do this, I had to 'detach audio' and then delete the actual clip. These were both new skills i learnt whilst working on my short film.
