USC’s Advanced Editing

Hey guys.

As Coyote said in his e-mail, I’ve created a couple of bins, one called FX and the other BG. Inside each you’ll find sound from Netmix that should be placed in each of your sequences. In most cases, I’ve tried to be specific in the sound name in order to make it easy to figure out what goes where (eg Oona’s Apartment EXT Crickets Night). In a couple of cases, I’ve placed the appropriate scene number before the  description if I felt that the placement might be confusing.

Remember, in the majority of cases and especially with backgrounds, the level of the sound should be lowered appropriately. When we cut from exterior to interior, the background should be checkerboarded so that the interior shots have the same background sound but at a lower level.

If you have any problems or questions, post on the blog and I’ll respond as soon as I can. If you feel like some effects are missing for your section, post what you feel needs to be there and I”ll track it down for you.
