We need to source two sound files of a door knocking, and a mobile phone ringing to place into our film. The reason for this is due to the quality of the diagetic sound we had already recorded. Because of the quality of the microphone and the background noise it produces, the sounds of the phone ringing and door knocking aren't as effective as they could be. I will soon be collecting various sounds from the Internet in attempts to see which would suit our film better.
If these sounds aren't quite up to scratch, then I will import them into a free piece of software called Audacity and edit them to have a higher pitch, tempo, speed, echo etc. I will save various sound files and consult the group in what their opinions are of this. Dependant on whether these are suitable, we will then import them into our film.
A slightly more important sound to edit may be the voice over that one of our actors provided for us. The same reasons apply; the microphone picked up background static. As to whether this can be removed or not I'm not sure, however I will fiddle around with the file and see if I can quieten it down at the least. Unfortunately, we aren't sure how to extract the sound from the video in Adobe Premiere but we will deal with this issue closer to the time when the voice over is needed.
