Integrating diegetic and non-diegetic sound into a video project

When apon making my audio files for my digetic and non-degtic sound, i didn't have the actual primer pro to hand due to the current situation of the limited resources that have at home. So instead i had to venture out on the internant to find a serviceable editing software that would accommodated my needs for video and audio recording. Luckily i found a free option on the interant that i downloaded called video pad video editor, that acts just the same way as the normal primer would instead it is free and a little bit easy to navigate. So my step by step guide on how integrated my sound/audio production into the learner aim unit will differ slightly so keep that in mind.


Step-1

Due not having access to a canon camera's DSLR microphone, i had to explore other to further my home-made audio recordings. Luckily i manged to get my hands on a Go pro cross tour camera, which came with a built-in condenser microphone, which was more than perfect to record my homemade digetic sound. I just choose the surfaces that i wanted to record on e.g tables, chairs, ceilings or walls, and tried my best to get the camera as close as i could get it to where i could get a good quality pick-up sound. Luckily the go pro camera is a small and handy piece of equipment to get into places where normal-large sized cameras can not.









Step-2

After my recordings with the the go pro camera i needed to take out the SD card and plug it into my computer's hard drive and start editing. I used the open new project caption to import all of my newly recorded audios into the editing software to start sweetening up and sharpening my home-made audio.
It was here when i unlinked both of the video and the audio file apart from each other, so i can precisely compress and modulate the sound recordings so it wouldn't bleed everyone's ears out.




Once the two individual parts of both video and audio were unlinked from each other, i was then able to delete the remaining footage as i didn't really need it, as i was only using it for the audio. Once i was happy with the the final sound, i saved it again as another version of a audio file somewhere else so i could come back and sample it in for my digetic sound in my 14th century castle video. Once all my other sounds where finalised i saved them up, in my folder for later use.







Step-3 

My final steps was to now import the sounds that i had now professionally mixed and import them to make them work into my video. I blended them in with my non-copyrighted TV static alongside with my creepy, ambient music that i incorporated into my video as well. Then all that was left for me to do was to upload them to YouTube!
