PA Sound

Recently we have been learning about how to make our sound in our post apocalyptic films seem more realistic. We are wanting to create very smooth filming and editing once we are ready to go out and start it. There is a way to create a clear sounded film which is something called creating Foley sound. The name came from Jack Foley, Foley sound is a way to make your film not seem amateur. Foley effects are sound effects added to films after the shooting is complete. This can be sounds such as footsteps, slamming, gun shots, etc. These sounds are better recorded on their own and to place on top of the film to make the sound clear. When shooting the sound the boom operator will only be focusing on dialogue so that they can add in the Foley sounds after. Whilst editing we can edit the sound by fading it and controlling the intensity. Foley is performed by specialised artists that sound on a stage around props. The artists will watch the film and perform trying to be in time of the sounds.

We will be recording our "Foley" sounds on the day of our filming, we will be recording sounds such as a twig snapping with our phones and the sound that our gun prop makes when it makes a loud "shot" kind of noise, if we do not like our sounds recorded on our phones when we edit our work we will be having to use some sounds from non copyright websites or we shall think of alternative ways to exaggerate the sounds.
