"The eye (in general) superficial, the ear profound and inventive. A locomotive's whistle imprints in us a whole railway station."

The ear is indeed inventive, that is why the audio needs to be spot on. The audio is often one of the first give aways of a student film. if the audio is perfect for the film the audience invents parts of the world you want them to, if there are holes and mistakes, the inventiveness of the audience can work against you. With my film I am most worried with continuity with in the audio. Continuity in general has been one of my stumbling points. I feel that the background music that will be playing during the party will help with continuity, but there are still some issues. the script jumps in time from one shot to the next, and my dilema is weather to have the background audio jump with the image or have the song simply change resonance and volume as the shot jumps around. A continuous song certainly is less jarring to the ear, but if I keep a continuous song during for the back ground music will it bug or distract people given the fact that the image is jumping in time? Who knows
