A sound engineer deals with the creative and practical aspects of audio within the film, this can include doing foley sound, mastering audio, composing a soundtrack and just making sure that all the audio is good to go in general.
My role will also include editing the audio which will be setting the start and end points of the audio and also the duration. Also making sure that the audio does not 'peak' this means that the audio doesn't get so loud that it distorts or overlaps over vital sounds.
As a sound engineer I will also need to deal with audio effects which could be reverb to try simulate the feel of a wide open space, EQing to take out unwanted frequencies from the audio and also noise reduction to remove background noise from an audio clip and also many other effects.
This is a screenshot of Ableton Live which is a software I sometimes use to edit audio, I also use audacity and FL Studio which are the two programs I will probably use for this project as I have more knowledge in these two bits of software and also I can master audio with FL Studio.
Since I do not have access to studio quality equipment and what not I will probably either borrow a microphone form the college or use my phone to record some foley as that is vital to enhance sounds that the camera may not be able to pick up, once I have these audio clips I will import them into Audacity to do some noise removal and then export them as a WAV format which is an uncompressed format so no quality will be lost, I'll then import it into FL Studio if necessary to do some EQing to it and possibly master it depending on the audio clip.
I'll do this same process for recorded with the camera as I can just take the audio from certain clips and repeat the very same steps.
