Today, myself and Lewis met up to start
cutting up the sound clips that we had been for our project, Night Journey, and putting them into
sub-clips.
I started off doing this by listening to
the sound clips and then setting in and out points (using the I and O buttons
my keyboard) every time a clip started and finished and also, most of the time
there would be a lady telling me what each clip was after she had recorded it.
After setting the in and out points, I would create a sub clip of the clip,
using the shortcut Command + U. When it came to renaming the file, I would use
the most sensible file name, normally calling it what the lady had told me it was
and also adding some of my own information.
As I did with the video clips that I cut
up, I created bins for the audio files to go in and labeled them:
- Audio rushes 1 subclips
- Audio rushes 2 subclips
- Narration subclips
This helped me to keep the files organized
so if I ever do need to go back to the original file, I will know which file is
was from and where in the file is came from.
When it came to cutting up the narration
clips, I used the script through to help me. I came up with a sensible file
name to follow for all of the clips. The file name template I came up with was:
Narrator , P X (X = PAGE NUMBER), B X (X =
Block Number), T X (X = Take Number)
This file name template would help me
greatly when it comes to finding specific parts of the script because I know
know the page number and then which block of text it was in the script so I can
easily find that piece of dialogue in the clips.
Overall, I am happy with how we managed to
cut all of the files down and create sub-clips with them and I am now ready to
start the assembly of the project and the rough cut.
