Editing 01/02/17

We tried to add the audio of Morgan and I speaking about what happened on the night, but we couldn't add that audio while the Orchestral music was on it. We googled how to do this but nothing came up. If nothing worked, our idea was to make the opening sequence without our speaking clips, and then create a new project in iMovie, enter our opening sequence then layer another audio piece on top, even though this may decrease the quality. 

Meanwhile we decided to go through the clips from the park, as some parts are too loud which makes that part of the sequence uncomfortable. There is one handheld clip of Morgan and I walking but it starts when Yasmin is finishing off her sentence, which makes it sound harsh and confusing as you don't know what she was saying. 

The last clip of the sequence has the sound of a light switch being turned off and after that there was some sound which might've been the camera moving so we cut that part out. Morgan suggested that we make the switch sound louder, so I split the clip of that one sound and attempted to make it louder but it didn't sound good as we couldn't select the part only with the click. Later on I tried it again using a different method. Instead of splitting the clip I selected a part of the sound waves and increased it to 180%.

When Miss Foster came in we asked her and she showed us how to fix it by dragging the audio to the specific part we wanted, instead of it covering the whole sequence. This way, you can have more than one audio file playing at any time. We tried to do this, but the sound didn't match up the way it did last time, and we have somehow also lost 10seconds of our footage. Before, it was quiet when the phone rings, but now the loudest part of the song has matched the phone call and you can't hear the phone ringing anymore.
