Foley Day 5

We started the final foley session with working through all of the footsteps on the film, this was challenging because of the different surfaces that were recorded on, the house was mainly wood and carpet but when Olivia got out of the car she walked first on gravel, then on stone and then onto wood in a very short period of time, which meant that editing her footsteps together would be a challenge.

I was in the Foley studio for this session while Callum recorded. I found this session to be useful because I was able to practise walking and stepping in sync to the actors, as well as being able to improvise on certain sounds, like using different layers of carpet and MDF wood to create a slightly more solid sounding wooden floor.

during this session I also acted out Olivia’s dress sounds, the sound was achieved by slowly stretching clothing out rather than scratching it against itself as we thought that a tight dress would make more subtle sounds than a looser shirt.
