I absolutely hate it when works of art are censored for “our own good”. But I felt this assignment would be relatively easy to complete especially since it is worth 5 stars. I chose to work with a scene in the Martin Scorcese classic “Goodfellas”. In this memorable scene, Joe Pesci has the table’s attention at the restaurant. And he drops quite a few f-bombs throughout the scene. So in the nature of all of those nasty, hack, betterment, moral minded, do what I say, not what I do, holier than thou types, I added a few beeps to cover up the use of the f-word. I downloaded the scene from YouTube using www.savefrom.net and got to work.
I found a censor beep on www.freesound.org and downloaded it. It was a tad long for my uses so I used Audacity to shorten it considerably. I then imported both the video clip and the audio beep file into Wondershare. I began rolling the video and paused at every instance of the word in question and dragged in my beep clip to take the place.
