Foley Sound Experiment

For our film opening, in order to enhance the non-diagetic sounds within the opening we can use foley sounds. 

Here is a quote from Wikipedia explaining what foley sound is: 'Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in post-production to enhance audio quality.' 

Below are some experiments of making ordinary sounds sound better on film.

To make the sound of knocking on a door, we used a window to knock on rather than an ordinary wooden door. This sound is more effective because it is more of a clear, precise knock sound compared to the wooden door which is slightly muffled and not very clear:

We used a deodorant can to make the sound of perfume spraying. When we recorded the sound of normal perfume spraying, it was too faint to hear so we used deodorant instead. This example sounds a bit too fake, so to make it sound better we could change the volume so it is not too loud.

These are only a couple of examples of what sort of sounds we will use Foley for. There will be other sounds such as: shutting a door; opening a car door; shutting the car door; and the sound of footsteps on a gravel drive.
