Foley Artists

I looked briefly at Foley art to get an idea of how it works. It is a process of creating and adding sounds to increase the quality during post production, also showing clarity of sound from our own world. 
Foley artists are very important to films. They create the sounds of the film by creating the sounds and recording them. You can see in the YouTube video how they create the sounds. Through modern technology, it has become more simple to re-create the sounds but traditional methods are still very effective as well as creative.

In the video I have embedded below, you can get a clearer idea of how the sounds are actually created. It suggests how simple some sounds can be created while others can be harder to find. The process is almost like trial and error as it can be difficult finding a realistic sound that fits into the film picture.




The Video below is a recreation of Foley art done by Roshni and Romina in the other class. I thought it was successful as it shows how the quality of the audio can be improved. The sounds are slightly off in some places as they don't always match the picture on the screen which suggests the difficulty behind the task. From the videos I watched above, I realised that watching the film clip while creating the sound was common to get them at the right time. The sounds were most likely created by recording the same actions done in the video (scrunching up paper, scribbling and recording the paper fall on the floor)
