Editing the Soundscape

Editing the soundscape was the most difficult piece of editing for me so far due to how many recordings I was putting together. However, after watching tutorial videos and practicing on Adobe Audition over the course I felt ready to edit it together. First of all I put all of the recording into groups depending on which of the 13 sounds I was trying to capture it was portraying. After doing this I edited each recording that was possibly going to be used; taking out unwanted background noise etc. After this I started to put the clips in order. Starting with the team talk and ending on the winning talk, I edited in between using various noises heard at a rugby game such as studs leaving the changing room, the referee's voice, a tackle, a try being scored, people cheering from the sideline etc. I reused many recordings such as footsteps and the kick of the ball. I also overlapped sounds such as the studs walking out of the changing to imply a team walking out or the sound of cheering and clapping to make it seem like there were a lot of people supporting from the sideline. I also had the recordings that were simply one after another fade into each other to make it sound more natural and leave minimal pauses.
