As part of post-production editing we as a group had to produce a score of foley sounds, so as to implement diegetic sounds into our thriller that weren’t quite captured in the original filming. This task was important as it helped us understand the importance and production of foley sounds and how much they contribute to a finished media product.

The sounds that we recorded were:

  • The slamming of a door
  • The sound of clothes brushing together
  • The sound of walking from various perspectives etc.

Below are pictures of our group recording our foley sounds:

Unlike most groups we edited our sound clips on Premier Pro as apposed to audacity. If we were to edit our sounds we would simply alter the audio gain, speed and duration and also the master volume of the audio file. By altering these aspects of the audio files we managed to make the sounds compatible with the atmosphere of what was happening on screen. By increasing the volume of the non diagetic sounds from quiet to loud increases the tension and leads the audience to anticipate what is to follow.
