Foley Sound

 Foley sound is a technique used to create every day sounds such as shutting a door. It's made by recording them in a recording studio at the same time as post production. They have to make sure that the sound is in sync with the action going on screen so they match up exactly. Using foley instead of the origional sound allows it to be more clear and exaggerated.

This youtube video clearly explains what foley is why it's done and how.

Mike challanged us to create our own foley sound from this scene of jurassic park, i chose to do the first 30 seconds of it.

 For when they open the door and it sqeaks to then switching off the lights i would use this light switch which clicks very quickly and this door handle which you have to lift and it makes the double up and down noise you hear when she shuts the door.

For the section when they are running to hide i would use a wet cloth and hit it onto a marble surface or any smooth surface to sound like the heavy fast running they are doing.

When they go behind the metal table and bang their backs aginst it i would push in and out one of the lids these metal paint pots.

Lastly for when the dinsor strongly breathes out smoke from his nose i would use a fire extingusher and quickly and sharply let out the smoke of it creating the same noise.
