Main Task: Editing (6)

In the last lessons we had big success in editing our movie and we finished the rough cut now completely. We finished the middle part now as well. We embedded the voice over, the music and the middle part shots. Now our story makes more sense and is understandable.
We could possibly finish our movie after this step, all the titles are there, everything makes sense. But we want to finalize some things. We did the voice over in a room, but two of the actors are outside when they speak. Therefore we want to do the voice over again, but outside. We hope that the voice sounds more realistic after that. We also have to work on some of the volume settings. For example on of the ring tones is much too loud, the viewer nearly gets frightened by it. It should be a nice and quiet sound. And sometimes the music is louder than the voice over. That is not good, we want to have the music loud at the beginning and in the end, but when there is the voice over we want the music to be quieter, so that the viewer sees that the most important thing in that bit is not the music and not the feeling the music gives to the viewer, it is more the message which the actors tell the viewer.
So there is still something to do, but we have done most of the work.
