Foleying micro essay

SoundWorks Collection: Gary Hecker - Veteran Foley Artist from Michael Coleman on Vimeo.



The art of foleying is the abilty to create sounds from objects that are irrelevant to what 'should of' made the sound used in film making, added in post production enhancing the quality of the sound. A common example of foleying are coconuts hitting a sand floor to interpret a horse galloping.
You can also get foleying machines like a rain box or a windmachine.
The purpose of foleying is to male the quality of sound better, it also makes the audience more aware of the diagetic sounds in the film which the non diagetic sound could of covered up. A lot of the sound you hear in the well known film 'Titanic' is added after by foleying, as they were filming on a boat and all the production team could pick up was the sound of the sea.
