An English Classic

Production

Sound

 

dialogue … music … sound fx … foley

 

In a frame there are 14 tracks of audio and each one has to be balanced according to interpretation of the scene. Spoken dialogue is always the first priority. Careful consideration of the level of sound of the music score, background chatter, footsteps, rustling of trees, the kisses, etc, is necessary. All the threads of previous production scenes are drawn together at this stage, resulting in a finished product.
