REFLECTION

Experience: Engaging in the task of audio dubbing was a time-consuming yet gratifying process. It involved infusing the film with a sense of realism through carefully selected sounds and the inclusion of my own voice. The outcome of the audio dubbing process left me with a sense of pride as it contributed to the film's authenticity.

Observation: Planning ahead by listing required sounds proved to be crucial, serving as a guide during the audio dubbing process. However, I observed instances where I forgot to include certain sounds during the execution. Additionally, the challenge of finding suitable audio files was apparent, leading me to adapt and customize available resources to meet the project's needs.

Findings: Upon reviewing the original footage of Munich, I recognized the value of this step in identifying potential gaps in the sound design. This retrospective analysis allowed me to refine and enhance the audio elements, ensuring a more comprehensive and realistic final product.
