Foley sound

Foley sound is named Jack Foley, an artist who specialised in sound effects.who became a well-known name in the 1920s for Foley sound is the term used to refer to sound created and added in post-production which involves the use of various everyday objects and actions to embellish the existing sound. These sounds include anything from footsteps to breaking glass. Foley sound is also sometimes used to disguise any unwanted sounds captured on the day of filming. Filmmakers favour this technique as they believe that foley sound adds an element of realism to their films. 

Foley sound is usually made professionally in a studio as it can be quite difficult to create sounds that sound realistic on set. There are three types of foley sound. These are feet, moves and specifics. There are a number of tricks that are commonly used to create foley sound. For example the sound of rain is often created through frying bacon and the creaking of wood is frequently formed by using an old chair or piano bench. 

Here is a video clip below of my own foley sound that I created at home. I recorded fingernails tapping on the table to replicate the sound of rain on a roof: 

I then had a go at creating my own foley sound for a section of this clip from jurassic park (0:06 to 0:32). 

I used the sound of my own footsteps on my kitchen floor whilst wearing trainers to create the sound of the characters running at the beginning. 

I then used the sound of my bin closing to recreate the sound of the characters crashing against the metal workbench.

Then to create the sound of the dinosaur growling and grunting, I recorded my cat purring. 

For the dinosaur's loud sneeze and loud noise at the end of the section of the clip, I recorded my vacuum cleaner:

I recorded these sounds on my phone and then edited them together using iMovie:
