Figure 2: Recordings of dialogue

Firstly, I recorded the dialogue in the given video using iPhone Voice Memos. Although there are only three characters and not many dialogue to record, this part took a lot of time as I need to match the tone and speed with the characters.

Figure 3: Speed Adjustment

After importing the original video, I arranged the dialogue to match with the scene. Some of my  recordings are quite slow, so I right click on the audio and find for speed adjustment to make them faster.

Figure 5: Dialogue tracks

There are 10 tracks for audio files in the timeline. Mr Martin told us to put 3 tracks for dialogue, each character has one track. 4 tracks for sound effect and 3 tracks for ambience sound. Mr Martin also provided us free website to download sound effect. Majority of my sound effect and ambience sound are downloaded in the website.
