Editing Lost in Translation

I ran into problems with editing the clip; I first starting editing off of the computer in the Workstation which kept crashing on Soundtrack Pro and I ended up loosing all of my work.
However, I started on another computer and started to first put all the foley clips I had recorded into position then started to manipulate them.
First, I started by getting an atmos track of a naturalistic outside setting, which I got off of the network called Morning Park Birds. It was a recording of basically a park in the morning with relentless birds chirping away. Although the track was what I needed, I had to get rid of the bird sounds as it was too constant and distracting so I cut many of the bird calls and replaced with birdless atmos from other places in the clip. As now the bird calls were few and far between, I decided to use them a triggers when Charlotte is visibly moved by something and when the bride puts her hand delicately in her husbands hand so that the moment was emphasised by a naturalistic tone. 

 The screenshot here shows the atmos track and where I cut out the frequent bird calls.

The footsteps were the trickiest foley to manipulate, mainly because the file I wanted to use kept corrupting but because it was hard at first to get the correct balance of left foot and right foot and also sync it up to the image as she hesitates and quickens her pace all the time in the clip. I used a foley recording of Alice's pumps on concrete and repeated a small sequence of left to right foot for her walking up the temple steps and across the temple building.

I used the wet option on Space Designer on the footsteps to make them echo as she steps into the temple from the outside, turning up the wet as she comes further into shot. I also used the gain Channel EQ to make it so her footsteps start quietly when she is walking up the stairs, as she is far away and then get gradually louder as she comes further towards the camera. 

Using Space Designer to imitate the echo of footsteps as Charlotte changes location. 

I used Channel EQ to play around with volume to create a sense of space in the clip.

I used the same technique on Charlotte's footsteps as she is walking across the stepping stones; using gain on Channel EQ to lower the volume of her steps as she walks further away from the camera. 

For the bridal parties footsteps, was very tricky as I had to sync up eight people's footsteps. I managed to sync up the bride's footsteps and the groom's but for the rest of the group, who you couldn't really see their feet, I just layed different foley recordings I had recorded to make it sound like a group of people were walking. 

For the bride's dress, I cut up the clip of the dress rustling so it sounded like the material was rubbing against her legs as she walked forward.

For the scene with the paper tied to the trees, I used a track on the network called Wind Through Trees, which when I turned the gain up, sounded almost like paper rustling through trees as an overlaying atmos on top of the one I had already.

I used the foley recording of tying the paper to the mic stand and cut it up so it was in time with the video and had to lower the gain as it sounded too loud for the environment Charlotte is in. 

I knew that I wanted something atmospheric with an air of mystery to it. I found SWEET SOUL by Trans Atlantic Rage/Balogh on Free Music Archive, which I though was perfect for my clip as the tones used in it sound almost like Japanese wind chimes and as the film is set in Japan, in helped to give the film the right mood and context.
