Final Mixdown On Post Production (Week 12)

So now we are in week 12 the last week of 3rd intensive Final mixing stage for post production. Our post production project come into shape and most of the sounds we have to recreate are already finish. But still there are some sounds need to be edited to sound exactly like from the scene and also some atmosphere sound need to put in then mix well to blend in.

For mixing of post production in my opinion mixing on music knowledge can be applied but what different is in post production we need to think outside of the box. We can still treat as music but something to get the sound according to the scene we need to break some rules and make it happen. Still it’s not a big deal. And in post production there are a lot of different layers sometime in music it can be happen but it depends. So we tried to create one sound from many different layers. Each different layer will sound different and when it combines it becomes one and maybe get the sound we want or maybe not. Critical listening also take a big role in this part. With good critical listening and mixing knowledge it is easy to get the way we want for the sound we are trying to creating.

What we mainly did for our project is we put reverbs for the sounds that are necessary. Then we tried to balance the layer for draft and listening back to know what we need to edit more. We also tried with eq to get the sound that talked behind the mirror cut high end a bit make it sounds like that. Also the part where car hitting through the door we put reverb on the foley we created before. For the final product of the mixing I’m satisfy with it but still within to learn more advance techniques.
