Fading:
We learnt of this technique through this video.
The idea is to space the sound files on your timeline like a checkerboard, and then overlapping them just slightly so they can then as one line of dialogue fades out (Diminuendos), the next is fades in (Crescendos) to replace it.

Through this I was also brought to the attention that sound levels should be consistent throughout the film i.e. no sudden spikes to maximum eardrum piercing volume for dialogue.

For the opening shot of Scene 4, Eve begins by walking into the room and dropping her belongings. The recorded synchronous sound going with this worked very well and show all the sounds which would otherwise be filled with foley. To reduce the total runtime, we cut to the next shot with Lucy early, however Eve was still doing things. To make this flow better, the audio from the first shot was carried on underneath the second, then faded away in time for the third shot. This gives the appearance that everything is still going on behind the camera and audience.
