Foley Artist Work

This piece of work was to demonstrate out understanding of sound and how sound is edited into scenes asthetically by foley artists recreating the sounds using other materials; for example the audio of fire is normally made by the crackling of paper bags. This sound is taped and placed over the scene. Occasionally dialogue has the same techniques, especially if the scene is filmed in bad conditions, an example of this would be strong gale winds. The dialogue would be unable to be picked up by the microphone, so the characters record the dialogue in a recording studio.
Animation films are different because diaglogue is normally recorded before the creation of the film, so that the words are shown correctly. Foley artists in animation films are given a blank scence and have to create and add the sounds to the scenes.

An example video from Youtube:
 
 
This video shows foley artists recreating sounds that the everyday person would think were actually in the scene, however this is not the case because most of the sounds would be quiet or the movements to make the sounds were to far away for the microphone to pick up.
