Foley Workshop

Foley Workshop 2nd session 11/10/12

I really enjoyed this workshop. It was interesting and a good laugh. Foley is something I had previously been interested in and did want to find out more about.
We atarted by finding out more about what foley is about. We watched several short clips and thought about what sound would be required. As well as what sounds were needed, we thought about how to create certain sounds. Some were obvious like a rolling coin, just roll a coin. Otheres require more creativity for example some of the gorier sounds, like breaking bones, snapping celery. or probing wounds, musing up a banana.
In groups we seperated off an dexperimented with some of out own sounds. We mutilated some friut and veg to get a plethera of gory sounds.  For example stabbing a peeled clematime was quite a convincing sound of flesh being punctured. Also we tried the classic, plastic bag rustle to simulate the sound of a crackling fire.
As I said previously this session was a great insight on how you can create sounds from something that doesn't at first seem obvious.
