Independent study

Explain the purpose and process of Foley sound in 3-5 bullet points.

Action

Creative Intention: To record Foley sound for a short sequence in order to create a soundscape that adds a sinister and scary atmosphere.

1. Create a new Premiere Pro Project in the D Drive of your computer in a project folder called ‘Your Name – Foley Sound’
2. Download this clip of film into that Project Folder.
3. Complete a ‘Spotting Session’, where you identify the sounds that should be in the clip, list 4-6 sounds you will record in the next session.
   • This should also include ambient sound, which will act as the base layer of sound throughout the clip.
4. Create 5+ Foley sound using various objects that you bring in from home to create an atmosphere for the clip.
5. In Audition import the sounds and sync them to the sequence.
6. Credit the video maker:
   • This is Dan Bell
   • Dan Bell CUTTING/ROOM/FLOOR Ep. #8 : OLD SPOOKY HOUSE
7. Export your Foley sound sequence, upload to your D Drive & YouTube
