Lvl 6 - FMP: Trick Of The Dark - Foley/Atmos

So for Trick of the Dark I have decided to look into different types of effects I can create using foley & sound design. I'm looking into youtube specifically to find tutorials on how to create different types of interesting sound effects that I could potentially use on the film to create a more atmospheric experience. Some of the examples I aim to show are basic ones such as footsteps, heartbeats etc.

Above is a video showcasing exactly how you can make sound effects out of everyday objects he uses a t shirt as an example on how to create a heartbeat though I know that you can gain the same sound from compressing a plastic tub and letting it rebound in your hand with control. the scissors being used as the ticking of the clock is also another technique that is interesting though some of these are rather basic that doesn't take away from the overall effect it can have on a scene. its rather impressive from your average persons stand point, someone with no knowledge on film finding out that this is where sound effects are crafted for there feature films. I found another video that is slightly more experimental in the way they showcase different sound effects, what I mean by this is that they are trying to achieve more complex audio. The video below showcases more gruesome sound effects for the game known as Mortal kombat.

Below is some of the fatalities in the game so you are able to see exactly where these noises will have been incorporated in the game & be able to realise just how amazing Foley can be.

So now what I see needing to be done going forward is using jacks script and putting together a list of what needs to be done for the foley design to better the films overall sound quality.
