Half term planning homework (30) costume ideas

29. Foley Sound (Task Two)

We created these foley sounds with the equipment that we had around us. We would like to apologise for some of the background chatter as we recorded most of these clips when the other groups in the class were doing the same thing as us.

We have ideas to use the stomping and key sounds in particular for our drama piece. They fit well with our rough idea of a married man returning home to ruins. The key sound effect can be used for when he drops his keys on the table and the stomping can be used as he travels through the house and witnesses the wreckage.

Making Sounds

Stomping - I (Leo) went outside of the room and stomped as heavily and rhythmically as I could. I stomped heavily so that the recorder could pick up my sound. This sound could be used as the husband walks into his home

Wiping - Rochelle scraped keys across the table t make the wiping noise.

Typing - we got the the typing sound from typing on the keyboard and recording it

Keys drop - we used Marie's keys to get the sound. We can use this as the husband drops his keys on the table upon reaching home.

29. Creating Sound (Task One With Sound Effects), Research

We can use this sound in our sequence when the husband is walking up the pathway to the home and is surveying all the damage done to the home by his psycho wife.

We can use the breaking glass sound when the wife is breaking the wedding photo in another room.

we can use the door open and close sound effect when the husband is entering the home unaware of the mess awaiting him.

Sound in a previous students work (28)

I found the use of music in this piece very effective. The whole track that was played throughout the sequence was a good soundtrack and it fit the tone and atmosphere of the sequence very well. The fact that the student was also in a studio like place singing the same song was also effective and the lyrics and rhythm of the song went will with the context of the piece.
Their use of foley sound was another good sound point. There was and amplified sound of the door being closed, also of his phone ringing which was played over the background track which was a good and effective idea. Without these sounds the piece wouldn't have been as effective. The track also brought a tense atmosphere especially when he walks past groups of teenaged boys.
Lastly, the foley sounds within the track for example, the police sirens also fitted with the whole theme of the sequence and let me know what the genre of the film was.
