Preliminary Task

Foley music

When we made our version of a foley movie we chose the song WAKE UP BOO by the Boo Radleys here is the official song that we based the short movie on:

 

 

My Foley Video-draft!!!

We were split into groups to produce a video for our Foley Project our one was based around the song by the Boo Radleys unfortunately I was unable to download the song so this is only a draft video when I can I will upload the proper version!
The Foley that we used was a door handle squeaking when the actress is opening the door and when she walks through the door we have a hand tapping on the orange skin.
If I was to improve this in any way I would probably have had the music playing when there is no speech and when the speech is about to come up I would turn the music down.

Foley Workshop

Today we had a Foley Workshop first of all we drew a table of Diegetic sounds for example a diegetic sound is something heard by the characters like a ring tone. But a Non-Diegetic sound is a sound heard by the audience like a soundtrack/score. Secondly we watched some videos that recreated sounds for movies like Toy Story here is a short documentary that we watched on YouTube:

After watching this it inspired me to think of different things to use for different sounds; like using gravel in a box to recreate the sound of footsteps. Also using the segments  of an Orange as the sound of Dinosaurs breaking out of the egg. This was used in Jurassic park. This is shown in the video below:

I enjoyed watching the 'behind the scenes' of the Foley industry and how not everything is made technically the majority of it is made by things you would find in a supermarket.

Shot Reverse Shot-second edited film

This is my second edited film. We used:

• Master shot:-

• Shot Reverse Shot:-

• Close Ups:-

This Film I found hard editing as there were a lot more different angled shots to cut and link together. Smoothing over the video was hard because there were different videos but with different shots all saying the same thing that annoyed me and I struggled with cutting them and adding effects so the film had an easy flow.  Especially when I was trying to use the different angles of shot Reverse shot. I don't think this was as good a film as the opening movie that I'm going to make because I thought that the editing was difficult and annoying.
