New Foley Sound attempts
I have recently recorded new foley sounds for the project and feel that the sounds I have gathered complement the dialog better. Found a video on Youtube where a man shows examples of creating sounds to a horror slash film. When examining the different sounds used in the video i selected the ones that suited my sound piece best. When creating the sounds for the piece I mad the decision to use one to three sounds that would occur regularly throughout the piece, which consisted of footsteps, knife sharpener and closing of a window.
When the time came to create the voice over i was not sure how to approach it, especially when deciding to record the voice with an american accent or english. Eventually i came to a decision after recording two version with the different accent and thought it was sound and feel better with my natural voice. Whilst reading recording lines i found it hard to go through the whole scene without breaking character, so recorded separate sections of the scene to help build an overall better structure of the piece.
There is one sound during the piece that helps build tension in the scene, it occurs just after the sharpening of the knife which was created form closing the window in my kitchen fast. This sound was used right at the very end of the scene as well to leave the listener questioning what exactly happened to the character.
The story itself is set in the past, as the character is tells the story, this then gave me the idea to experiment with some of the effects in Pro Tools to make the sounds that you are hearing feel as if they have already happened. By using this effect called Reverb it enables the sound to almost create its own environment around you whilst listening. It has a numerous amount of setting to help create your perfect atmosphere, for example ambients, Church, hall, room etc.
In a section within the scene you hear the character say how his father stuck a blade into his face. watching the video below you see the man use the sound of a swashed lemon to create the sound of a opened wound. I replicated this idea but unfortunately did not have a lemon to use at the time so went with a tomato instead and managed to create a similar sound.
