Foley Sound

Foley sound is the use of every day sound used In film making to improve the audio and create a better image of the world the movie is set in. Foley sound effects are added to the movie during post production. This can be anything from:
  • creaking doors
  • footsteps
  • doors opening and slamming
  • glass breaking
Hunger
During class we watched the movie hunger, as previously said silence was a huge part in the film to create different emotions and most of all to heighten and emphasise every other sound. However a lot of Foley sound was used throughout the extract, for instance the sound of creaking doors, heavy breathing and bath water swishing.

My movie opening
Foley sound is something I would like to incorporate into my film opening to improve the audio quality and make it more interesting. Due to my film being a romantic crime, the Foley sounds you may expect to hear would be guns shots and loud footsteps.

Axel's help

Last week Axel, a professional camera man, came into our lesson and gave us advice on our preliminary videos and how to improve them. We also filmed a few more shots to show how the shots should have looked. These looked much better, as the main images in the shot were central, showing the they were most important part of the shot. One main aspect I know I have to improve now, from Axels help, would be putting the object and characters central to the frame, so that frame space isn't wasted. In addition, one big mistake I made was not filming enough footage to get what I wanted. As a consequence my film sequence jumped from one character standing up to sitting down. Overall Axel's visit was very helpful as he helped to identify the problems and allow us to fix them for our film opening.

 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Above are 9 key frames from my film opening – Insiders. I will refer to them throughout my evaluation from frame 1-9, reading left to right. At the beginning of my opening, we made and edited a film ident as seen in frame 1. This ident relates to our film as the ‘clank / whoosh’ we used to suggest our film opening has an interesting story line and is different as it is not the normal jingle. The use of the pink font and the grey background suggests that our target audience is not just men but we are also targeting females. In the first 30 seconds of our film opening we set the scene with an establishing shot walking through Covent garden, which confirms the romantic comedy convention used in most films nowadays. We were inspired to add the title of the location and time onto the shot, to remind the audience that this film opening although romantic, i...
