Foley Sound Creation

 Yesterday Gabe shared over the foley sounds that he created. He sent us the sounds in our group chat for footsteps, shuffling a bag, carrying a bag, kicking the soccer ball. These sounds may seem insignificant to the viewer, but through learning about foley we understand that these sounds put together the piece and make it sound more realistic. Everywhere you go there is a very small chance that there will not be a fuse of multiple sounds. I am going to describe each sound and what we will use it for.

Footsteps: We used dress shoes to help illustrate the sounds of steps. The sounds of the dress shoes I feel is much louder and distinct so we can clearly illustrate through that the sound of someone walking. 

Shuffling a bag and moving a bag: We used a school backpack to help create this sound. When I did a foley project a few months ago, we realized that a back pack can make multiple different sounds. By shaking it and moving around the materials we will able to make the sounds of moving around a back pack and also carrying one. 

Kicking a soccer ball: We used the shoes again to help make this sound, but instead of using them walking on the ground, we had them colloid with each other and other objects around the room to sound like the shoes are hitting a soccer ball. 

We had our recordings sent in on our group chat and were able to save them to Julia's iPad and drag and drop them as needed. I think these sounds will be the most useful in the parts that are in the house since at the soccer scene it is in an outside settings so natural sounds are more common and it is harder for someone to hear the minor sounds when outside in real life.
