ABSTRACT

The recording of dialog and sound effects, the style of editing, and the preparation of these sounds, as well as the philosophical taste and manner of mixing the sounds together are all virtually the same. Unique application differs from one medium to another, but the art form and techniques of sound recording, sound design, dialog preparation, and sound-effects editing are identical. Many picture editors would cut the first shot just as the car disappeared screen left and then a frame before it appeared on the right. That's monophonic thinking. Motion pictures are shot at 24 frames per second. The extra six frames is made up by using a "drop-frame" video transfer technique, where every fourth frame of the film is repeated, thus making 24 frames per second view at 30 frames per second.
