For our thriller we decided to add in some of our own foley sounds. Foley sounds are sound clips which have been created using everyday objects for instance, dropping a pile of books onto the ground to make it sound like a body falling on the floor.
Below are our foley sounds that we created, which we recorded using a handheld microphone.
Falling onto a wooden crate
We used Kit’s school bag to drop onto some planks of wood that we found. We decided to do this as we thought it was the best way to create the sound of a person falling onto a wooden crate.
Knife scraping
We used a coin to scrap fast across the the leg of a table to create a knife scraping sound. This sound will then be used to make the noise of the knife getting picked up off of a metal tray.
Stabbing/squelch noise
We made the stabbing noise by getting an orange and stabbing it with a pen. The reason we used an orange is because we thought it would make the most realistic sound of a person getting stabbed. Once we created the stab noise, we then went on to creating the squelching noise. We did this by squishing the orange that we had stabbed. We did this, as we thought that we could either use the sound for a footstep in a puddle or for when the doctor scrunches the cloth together.
