Consideration of Foley Sound


What is 'Foley Sound'?

Definition:  'Foley sounds' are used to complement or replace the sounds recorded on set.  They are recorded live, post production, and added to enhance the quality of the footage. 

Foley Sound Research:







How could I use Foley Sound in 'Devotion'?




When we filmed Billy walking through the countryside, tractors were working in a near by field.  This, obviously, would not fit in with the chosen period.  We will therefore need to recreate the sounds of wind, footsteps and bird sounds in these scenes.  

Also, when we filmed the delivery of the letter to the maid, our chosen location was by a car park.  We will need to re-create the sound for these scenes too.  It will mainly be birds and wind once again, giving the feel of a country village.
