Today, we were playing through the film to check for any errors we hadn't yet dealt with, and found some areas where the audio needed fixed as it was either too quiet, or we had better audio recorded on a microphone which was much clearer. This was the case in some of the outdoor park scenes, such as the introduction scene where Poppy speaks about her struggle with finding love. The sound here sounded very quiet and was almost inaudible, but luckily we had recorded this scene on the field recorder too.
I detached the audio from the original clip and removed it from the film, and then added the field recorder audio which I had saved in a file called 'Audio' so it was easy to locate.
I had to adjust the audio a few times by cutting it short at the beginning, and moving it to fit the filmed clip perfectly. Once the audio fitted perfectly against the filmed clip, I noticed that the sound of wind was obvious towards the end of her speech, so to remove this sound as much as possible, I used the blade tool to split the audio into two parts from where the windy sounds began, and used audio effects on the audio affected by wind. I set the Equalisation to 'Flat' and checked the Audio Analysis which passed with no problems. So, I clicked to see more on the audio analysis, and from here I was able to adjust the effects myself, so I set Noise Removal to 100%. This helped to edit the sounds of wind out as much as possible, so it's quite subtle now. The subtle wind sound actually sounds natural though, as the clip was filmed outside, so this adds to the film.
