Foley recording plan

Foley Recording Plan

1) Draw at least 3 individual technical diagrams on the attached sheet of how you will set up each of your Foley sounds on the Foley floor.

2)  Whilst making your recordings, please take some photographs to show how you set up your Foley floor.

Objects used for foley

Sound recorder used for some objects

Flesh ripping sound effect

Dead Cat

Computer with Audition set up

 




3) Thinking back to what we covered in lesson (and looking back at the PowerPoint my Blog)  when recording your sound effects how will you ensure that you get a good, clear recording? (positioning microphones / recording location / monitoring and controlling of recording levels via UV meters) fundamentals of decibels (dBs) / background noise

i will position the mic above the items making sure they are not close enough to give off any reverb/background noise. I will record the Foley in a soundproof studio to reduce background noise. I will have to keep check of the levels each object produces so that it does not distort any of their sounds.

4)What type of microphone will you use and why is this an appropriate microphone to use / how will it help you to get the best recording?

For the foley production i will use a shotgun microphone, this is the most appropriate microphone because it lowers the chance of recording background noises/reverb which will make the quality of my sound effects much better.
