As a young filmmaker, I was always intrigued by the creative process of putting together a short film. I had experimented in several parts of filmmaking, but one area where I lacked experience was sound design. I had always imagined that sound in a film was simply added in post-production, but I quickly understood that it was much more than that. I immediately realized that sound is an essential component of the filmmaking process and may have a significant influence on the overall quality of the picture.

This made editing way easier. I did not have to spend lots of time equalizing the audio. The dialogue was easy to hear. We took multiple takes of dialogue to ensure we had everything. I sorted through and found the best of each. I then had to add the titles. The titles were not hard to add and only took me a minute to fully add them. Overall I think that the movie turned out great and the editing was improved greatly.
