Feedback review on Foley's Sound on Psycho Shower Scene


During our theory lessons we had been taught about Foley sound. Foley's sound is sounds created by objects and added in post production.We had to watched the shower scene from psycho without audio and then had to re-create the noises with a range of objects that we were given.We filmed and edited the sounds and today we screened Jess and I's production.The class then were to write feedback with two 'what went wells' and one 'even better if'.

Overall I believe that our audio was great and was well synched up and created a realistic effect.I think that we could've improved on making the stabbing louder so we could hear it more. But the shower curtain and footsteps I thought were great. We should've toned down the shower sounds as it did sound extremely loud and less realistic because of this. If we were given this task again I believe we should make a different sound for the stabbing as it was hard to hear and so it wasn't amplified as well as we originally hoped.

As for the Editing,I learnt new skills such as how to fade the sound down. Mine and Jess's editing went well as we didn't need too much help and we easily placed and trimmed the clips into the correct positions to sync the video and audio together. However like before we could've easily toned down the shower noises so they didn't sound as sharp and brittle. We  decided to add in some tense music to help create the atmosphere of the clip, and to bring the scene together otherwise it sounded rather dull and people who have never seen the scene before might not know it was horror if we didn't have the scary music running through the background.

My classes reviews were that music we had throughout the film clip really helped with the mood and atmosphere and that the overall sounds were well synched up with the clip itself which made it more realistic.However despite these positives we were given some improvements to consider.One main improvement that came up a lot was to have the shower continue throughout the scene including the section in which the women gets stabbed.I agree with this however if we had the shower running through the section we would be unable to hear the stabbing taking place.

Audience

An audience is a Group of Mass or Niche people who consume any media text such as Radio and music listeners,television viewers and web traffic on websites. An audience is important as they are the viewers and the clients of the media text and they can give the money to break-even and create profit.New technology now makes it easier for people to access the media they want and when they want,this increase in technology also means less people buy physical copies of films or the news as they can easily access it from the smartphones or smart Tv. there are two main types of audiences the mass audience and niche audience.The mass audience are a large group of people all attracted to the same thing for a large variety of reasons whereas a niche audience is based around specific attractions to the media text such as a a specific genre like gardening or cricket. An audience can also be split into two main systems for categorising,Psychographics and Demographics,A psychographic is definin...

Film Genre

The Hunted film that we are going to be producing is going to be a Horror film.Other films that have the same genre as ours is IT,The Ring,and Happy Death Day. Horror films all have many similarities to create the scary,and tense emotions to appeal to the audience watching.If it isn't scary then it won't be popular. In a horror film you always have a protagonist.In IT this is the clown,Pennywise,he is a murderer which is also very similar to our interactive film as we are going to be having a murderer as the protagonist,however instead of them being a clown we are having them as unknown as the film will be in first person from the murderers point of view. As well as a protagonist we also have the antagonist,they're not the hero in the film as they don't survive,which is controversial because most protagonist is the hero and they mostly always survive. It's also very different because there are three main characters all with their own separate story linking i...

Foley's Sound Editing Review

Today we were given the task to edit our Foley's sound recordings, that we filmed a couple of weeks ago, into the muted shower scene from Pyscho. We had used a Cue sheet when recording to know which sounds were to be made and with what objects out of the ones given. This was so we could keep track on what was recorded and what wasn’t. The cue sheet made the task a lot easier as we made a list before starting to record so we knew what sounds we were going to recreate and with what objects. Foley’s sound is the recreation of everyday sounds that you would usually hear in a film. These can range from something simple like footsteps to something much bigger such as a thunderstorm. Foley’s sound is most commonly used to enhance the audio in a video; also, if the audio doesn’t come out well it is most often used then. Hollywood is well-known in using Foley’s sound a lot whilst creating their audio especially waves and the crashing sea. When we used Foley sounds we recreated doors ...
