Sound Recording

Foley

We had to focus on many different things for our opening sequence and one of which was sound. We already how the natural sounds for the filming which were being recorded along with the film but that made it very limited. We knew we wanted music throughout the opening sequence because several action thrillers do, but we didn't want to add dialogue. Another thing to look into was foley sound, this is the sounds you'd expect to hear e.g. footsteps but they were recorded at a separate time to the film.

This could have been done online (royalty-free) but we found it more sufficient to make our own recordings due to the fact that we could get it exactly how we wanted them.
Some recordings we made were:

Assassin's footsteps

Spy's footsteps Paper rustling

Spy sitting down

Grunt as spy is being stabbed

We made our own table that told us what the sound effect was, where it was in the opening sequence and how long it was for.
