Editing Sound in Adobe Audition Part 2


Footsteps:
Its apparent in the final animation that there is a lot of walking involved. However, I didn't want to overuse the footstep sound effects, as it would only take over and make them less effective. I decided only to add the sound of footsteps when either the characters were close to the camera (i.e. within close listening radius) or if there was a need to build tension.

I essentially used the same footstep sounds as seen previously on my blog...see that post for reference.

Here are some examples of video with footstep sound effects....


1. Introduction to the Antagonist (close up shot of feet). The sound is here to emphasise the movement of this character. Compared to my first version of this clip seen in a previous post, I reduced the sound to make it more realistic as 'creeping'.


2. This again is a close up, therefore needs a clear indication of the the character walking in the woods. 

Also here is an screenshot of the finished soundtrack in Adobe Audition....
