FOLEY SOUND

Why is it called Foley?

Foley originated from Jack Foley , who established the basic modern techniques still used today.

What is Foley Sound?

Foley sound is sound effects added to the film during post production , these sounds include footsteps, clothes rustling , crockery , doors slamming and opening , there are many more foley sounds that are created based around everyday life.

Why bother with Foley Sound?

Without Foley sound a film sounds hollow and empty . It has shown that old historical films seems lifeless when screened without sound therefore Foley sounds helps bring dead images to life but also adds a element of realism.

How is Foley done?

Foley is normally done by Foley artists. Ideally they stand on a stage with a variety of props and surfaces in a studio .

Analysis of Film Advertisement

I noticed this advertisement in the Metro Newspaper and it was really intriguing and different to any film advertisements I’ve seen before. I figured that I might as well post a Blog about the film Advertisement and what it connotes to the viewers just by that one glance.

The main colour of this advertisement is a Sun Bleached Orange. This is the same colour as the Tiger used in this advertisement. By having an animal in this, it shows to the viewer that the film is focused on nature and animals. It also makes them assume that the films main location of filming is in some type of Wild Life in a hot country. They also have the young boy opposite the Tiger and the proxemics is quite close. This shows that there may be some type of relationship between the boy and the Tiger or the boy may be looking after the Tiger. The colours used in this are mainly bright and soft. The colour white that is used as the font colour of the film title connotes innocence from both the young boy and the animal. It also shows that the film is positive in some kind of way, whether it has a positive outcome or a positive start.

Rough Cut Feedback

Rough Cut of Thriller Film Opening

This is our Rough Cut for our Thriller Film Opening. We have added in Sound Effects to create more of a Horror/Thriller Feel to our Opening. We have more sound effects to add for out Final piece and to also play tension filled sound throughout. We like the Voiceover used at the end because we feel that it fits well with our opening due to the Storyline its based on. We hope to re-film two scenes in this opening as they weren't in focus on the Camera whilst filming. Overall, We are happy with our Rough-Cut.

Photos of Filming 'Bloody Tears'

These our photo's of our filming process for our Thriller Opening. We filmed in College on the Ground Floor as we wanted to get a Education Environment to show the changes in character for the Young Girl. This is also a contrast in scenery.
