foley

Foley is about adding sound effects from creating noise with equipment. For example, the most common, the sound of a horse running by using two half coconut shells.

In moving image, we were sent out to collect different sounds that associate with the library film. These sounds include chewing, turning a page, chewing and slurping a Starbucks (which in our case was a McDonalds). I felt that this was a fun but challenging task. Collecting the sounds were the easier part but editing them so it mixes in with the film was a lot harder due to timing. To work with the timing, I had to shorten some of the sound effects to a fraction of a second and keep playing it repetitively.
