Sound design/Foley

Tech assignment, due April 24 – April 25 (Tues/Wed):

2 minutes of multiple-clips film, all audio replaced.

Show two versions (= 4 minutes):

Requirements:

No dialog (unless you feel you just have to, in which case it you have to talk to me and has to be looped/dubbed/ADRed) ; really, just do “action.”
Minimum (i.e., for a “C”) of 10 different effects,
- at least 5 of which are Foleyed by you,
- at least one of each – “footsteps, cloth, props”
- at least 4 of which are prerecorded sound effects,
- and at least one of which is ambient sound, either
  - recorded by you (get it when you’re out there; c.f., Krill sailing film) or
- from a library
  that unifies several different shots, enhancing the illusion that they are seamless/sequential (i.e., “all this is happening one after the other, I just happen to be looking this way and that way”)
Not funny — the goal is to create an illusion, not trash it. (OK – one funny sound, if you have to.)
All audio is balanced, clip-to-clip – the audience (me!) should not have to ride the gain to balance loud and quiet sections.
Explore the sound effects (especially “ambience”) that come with iMovie (2011 or 2013); in addition, the web is packed with free sound effects.
If you want to play with split screen to show off your Foley chops (i.e., a BTS on one side, as in Track Stars, below) iMovie help is here.
Note: if you want, you can do a music video – e.g., Jordan’s “Black Bird,” Alex’s “Believe” (ft Koda) – multiple clips, all sound replaced with original sound recorded by you, sound effects added.
