Audio Editing

 The audio editing was done partially on the Mac mini software iMovie 2013, but this was due to the footage containing dialogue and foleying that I wanted to sort out. The telephone ringing was a built in effect to the iMovie file defaults and this is why I edited it on there.
 I also tried the music editing there but this was a far too complicated mechanism for me to use. I am used to a separate channel under the timeline but this system was messing around with orders of footage and I had to reverse to a previous save before I started the audio editing. This meant I had to export the footage with some sound effects and dialogue and add everything else at home.
I was rather surprised with how quickly I finished the video once I took it home. I recorded reactions from the telephone and added distortion and echo, which made it sound like it was coming out the other end of the receiver. I added the gunshots that I had made using techniques from the video on foleying, edited the voice over and sorted out the music levels and added fades according to how I wanted to them to come in. 
An example of the interface I am used to.
