Major project foley

For this project the amount of foley is less than in the exercise, this is mainly because I am aiming to create what is in the characters head rather than what is on screen. For me this piece is about creating a mood and telling the characters story through her mind rather than creating the soundscape of the outside world. The main foley I recorded on the day was all the paper sounds. I think that the paper and writing is a major part of the film, and the sound of it needs to be prominent in the piece. I spent most of the time in the studio playing with paper. I reorded many diferent ripping sounds. Flipping through a note book, writing on paper and scrathching paper. I had decided to record these particular sounds in accordance with the characters actions in the clips. Also while in the studio I recorded some violin notes. I tried several different things ranging from high pitched squeals to low, discordant drones. In the edit I want to mix these with designed sound to create a sense of building madness and a feeling of entrapment. All in all I think this was a successful session of recording, I got a good range of sounds and am happy that I have what I need to go into the edit.
