What can you do to fix audio? To fix the audio you can change the meter of the clip to make the clip louder or quieter depending on how it sounds. If the audio clip is too loud you can put the meter down to balance out the sound heard. Also, if the audio clip is too quiet you can put the meter up to balance that out too. Sometimes the clip cannot be fixed. In some cases, if the sound it too loud or if you're too close to the mic while talking, it will still sound a bit distorted. This could also be said if it was too quite. Even if you put the meter up you may not be able to hear the audio correctly. This is sort of like if you stretch a picture beyond its resolution. You'll still be able to see it but it'll be a bit distorted. The optimal level for recording is between -25 and -10 decibels. 

Have comments we received were pretty good we just needed some music or sound to complete the film fully but other than that our film was good according to others.

In the film Rear Window by Alfred Hitchcock, he uses this one panning shot almost as a foreshadowing to the rest of the movie. After watching this film, as a viewer I am able to see and hear things in the original panning shot that enables me to understand how Hitchcock summarizes the whole movie through the first shot. We can hear mysterious music which answers the question of what genre this film is. Also, he uses birds chirping and other background noise to indicate that they are in a neighborhood. This is a perfect intro as it sets the scene for the rest of the film. Also, the viewer sees all the main characters that the man looks at throughout the whole film. This is also a great introduction to the dynamic of how this specific neighborhood works. Overall, Hitchcock tells the story of the movie through this initial panning shot by introducing characters and using music to set the tone of t...
