This week in media studies, we learned about how sounds are used in movies, the part we dove into most were foley sounds. Foley sounds are sounds made separately from the recording. Like if a film with a fighting scene, they’d record the actors fighting and separately record random metal objects clashing and match it with something shaking for the feet to make a good scene fit for a movie.
I did the brainstorming sheet as my partner wasn’t there. Picking a scene was a little tuff, something with a lot of sound and that could happen in a short time frame. I landed on car crash and got to writing sounds. Split it up into 5 parts, the way before, the before, the during, the after, and the more after. It starts with a man driving then going faster until he crashes, you can hear fire and wind in the background with people’s voices until someone’s drags him out and says he’s ok.
Next class I talked about it with my partner and he liked the idea and we got to work. Put all our sounds into a folder which was easy but the editing, not so much. I like iMovie but my partner likes adobe so he had the idea to add all the sounds in and while he does that I grab the foley sounds we were supposed to make.
We were assigned to make 4 foley sounds and use them in the project. Using a paper for wind, a fork scraping on a plate for the car breaking, a sink running for rain, and a believe metal water bottles hitting each other for the cars colliding.
While I was doing this, my partner got all the sounds in order, we couldn’t figure out how to share the document so I sent the sounds over text and he put them in before submitting the assignment.
It was quite rushed at the end and as much as I tried to understand the adobe app, it was pretty confusing, doing it on iMovie I think was the better option but not the one we landed on and still managed to complete it.
