Sound: Foley

Foley is a term that describes the process of live recording of sound effects that are created by a Foley artist, which are added in post-production to enhance the quality of audio for films, television, video, video games and radio. During the editing process of our teaser trailer we will have to create our own Foley sound effects which we can use to create emphasis and meaning to parts of out trailer. The reason for the Foley sound effects is that the sound produced naturally while filming will be minimal and will not sound natural. Foley can also create an increased sense of realism for the audience. In the video below is a YouTube video I had found which talks about the process of creating Foley sound effects and gives some good examples of when they are used in films.
