RESEARCH: FOLEY SOUND

Foley Artists often watch the clip and make the
sounds according to
 what is being shown trying to get the timing right.

FOLEY SOUND

Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects which are added in post production to enhance the quality of audio for films, television, video, video games and radio.These reproduced sounds can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass. The best foley art is so well integrated into a film that it goes unnoticed by the audience. It helps to create a sense of reality within a scene. Without these crucial background noises, movies feel unnaturally quiet and uncomfortable.

Foley artists look to recreate the realistic ambient sounds that the film portrays. The props and sets of a film do not react the same way acoustically as their real life counterparts. Foley sounds are used to enhance the auditory experience of the movie. Foley can also be used to cover up unwanted sounds captured on the set of a movie during filming that might take away from the scene at hand, such as overflying airplanes or passing traffic.

This part of a film is very practical and you must get the sound PERFECT. or near it.

*EVALUATION: When WE done Foley sound in are filming of ALINGTON ROAD. we found that we had to pay attention to every bit of the film scenes being shown to us and the fact we will need to make the sounds flow across each scene and had to be inventive with the way we record the sounds.
