How foley will be used

Foley is a crucial part of non silent films, foley is generally made up of  small insignificant sounds alone but together they can fill out the film. Foley tends to capture the sound of movement such as footsteps or doors opening and closing. For the film ill be working ill be covering footsteps, doors being open and closed, wind rattling against objects, a shovel being used into the ground and many more. ill will be also doing SFX in appropriate locations if possible meaning when not in the foley studio ill be recording SFX in locations relevant to the scenes.

This relates to my second and third learning outcome

The Project

For this project I will be sound mixing and recording for a short film. For the duration of this project I will be researching audio post- production techniques, Foley, SFX creation, recording a pianist for the musical score, to aid with the practical part of the project.

Learning Outcomes

My learning outcomes for this project are:

  • Use professional practice taken from audio post industry and research sources to communicate effectively with my client.
  • Use professional audio post production techniques and incorporate them into my practice.
  •  Identify and use key pieces of software and equipment that are commonly used resources by audio post production professionals.
