I'm not very happy with our progress regarding sound editing. There are some background noises in the clips that needs editing, and the sound editor wasn't doing it!
Xiangyi, who isn't the sound editor, and I worked together and added sound effects on FCP. While editing sound, Xiangyi stumbled upon a special effect where everytime the character goes through a portal, the whole screen warps and turns green in a flash. He added this to most of the portals, and added another effect, where the screen appears to be "blown off" and comes back in a flash.
We also fast forwarded the sound while the screen warps or flashes, and while doing that, the white noise became a more high pitched, "teleport" like sound. We thought using that would be great.
Chris the sound editor finally made his appearance in the film lab and gave us the songs, then he quickly left. We thought that the song didn't match and they weren't the ones that we picked, so we tried contacting him, but failed. So we had no choice but to use that song.
We encountered another problem while watching our film. There was a partduring filming when catherine was holding out the matryoshka above the camera to drop it, her hand appeared on the screen. Mr Chang helped us and taught us the steps to blacking out the the portion of the screen. This is a skill that i have not previously learnt.
After Xiangyi added the subtitles, we exported the film to the dropbox
Later that day, I contacted catherine and told her to bring the matryoshka doll so that we could make a poster of it. I had a few ideas in mind on making the poster, like:
-a black background with harsh lighting upon the doll. (I don't think this will work out very well, because i don't think it would suit the theme of our film very well, because its not so dark and serious)
-two overlapping opaque matryoshka dolls (This would suit the film better, because at first, the doll did show powers of portalling of its own.)
