Foley Sound

As a group, we wanted to have a go at producing our own Foley Sound in the soundproof studio at school as we feel this could be incredibly beneficial to our knowledge of not only how it's actually done for real films, but also to give us a sense of whether we can actually use it within our film and if it will be effective.

In class we were introduced to Gary Hecker who is a Foley Sound Artist, and this video gave us a good idea as to how the different sounds are recorded and put together with relevant timings and fades to make sure they fit to the film/section of film.

Unfortunately we didn't have enough time to produce Foley sounds, and we decided when editing our final product that the only Foley sounds we would be able to do would be footsteps. Therefore rather than wasting our time, we thought this would be more effective to leave as raw sound from our camera to create a more realistic effect ans Foley Sounds can often sound too staged and be ineffective when not done professionally.
