Foley, Foley, Foley

Throughout the process of editing, Sofi and I have noticed that most of the sounds we need are in the natural environment of our shots. Lucky for us most of these sounds were caught in our shots. Though, after watching the edited 2 minute film, we have found that some sound effects are not as prominent as we need them to be. So, we decided to create foleys for them so we can manipulate and control the volume of that specific sound. 

To record foley's it is important that the environment you are filming in is quiet, so no background noise is picked up. We chose to create the foleys in my bathroom. This bathroom has no windows which helps with avoiding background noise. We chose to keep the lights off in the bathroom while filming because the light in my bathroom is accompanied by a loud humming noise of the vent. We chose to record the sound with the IPhone’s voice record feature. This would make it easy to up load the sound because I can just air drop it onto my MacBook Pro. 

One sound we chose to do was the pen scratching through a paper. This is seen quite a lot in the beginning of the film to symbolize the kidnapper following Veronicas schedule. This action is seen often in the story line so it is important to emphasize the sound with this foley.

Another Sound we chose to do was Sofi’s Angry crumbling the notebook. The sound should be louder top represent the anger she feels.

We have to take another look to see which foley’s we are missing but overall we are on track for the final week of the project! Stay tuned!
