Foley sounds example

Foley sounds example - #17

Foley sounds are used in a lot of films. Some can be very creative, or maybe not at all what you think is making the sound. My film will need to include this for the creative aspect. The sounds that I will recreate are a car starting, the sound of velcro on boxing gloves, and hitting the heavy bag.

For the sound of the car starting, my mom recorded me starting up the engine. I also included the sound of it revving up, as it will show that the car is getting ready to speed off. I decided to recreate this as a foley sound, as I thought it would make the tone of the car engine sound more deep.

The sound of the Velcro on the boxing gloves was very simple and straightforward to recreate. I decided to add this sound as I believed it would be a unique sound element to add in the background. By doing it this way, I would be able to focus more on the dialogue during actual film time and add this additional sound to the background

Hitting the heavy bag is a very important part of the film, as it shows where the protagonist begins, to where he will get to. Creating this sound was easy to make, as all I had to do was punch the bag, as the character would, and in many variations. Overall, creating all of these sounds was fun to do, but the hard part will be to mix it well in the editing process.

Final Cut - #42

Final Script - #35

For my finalized script, I completed much more of what was left of the first draft. This included things such as camera shots, music chimes, and sections for each part. With this complete, I can now finish filming and have everything organized. Scripting was the most intricate, but necessary part. This is because it took a lot of time to put together and actually create from scratch. Not only did I have to write the lines for all of my characters, but also the way it would be shown through the camera shots. In my opinion, this is the hardest part of preparation.

Setting and location - #27

For this opening scene, I only wanted to make two areas the focus. One was the sidewalk, and the other was Miguel's house. Both of which can be found in a neighborhood. I found it ideal, as it was close to where I live and we wouldn't have to go anywhere far to film it. The sidewalk would be used for the chase section, where Sammy would hunt down Tim. This setting will be the least significant, and shortest but it will be included in the very beginning. Miguel's house is the most important setting as it is where he and Tim will develop their friendship. This in turn will set up the story for the entire film. What was most interesting about filming at these places was the lighting. The sun gave really good natural lighting, which was important to these scenes. I was able to film what I wanted to since it was pretty much clear on both filming days. I also liked how the sunset looked at the end where Tim was about to walk out.
