For our re-make of Arlington Road, we had to decide on some sounds that we thought we would be able to record. We decided to record the sound of footsteps. To do this, Ami walked up and down the corridors in college while Nyomi and I followed him with the camera.
We then tried to make the sound of a car while driving, we agreed that using our own voices would sound extremely fake and found that scratching the wall sounded very similar to a car driving on gravel.
We experimented with the sound of the car door but was unsuccessful. We did manage to record the sound of a door closing, however, this is not part of the opening sequence so it wasn't needed.
The last sound we made was using some hand towels, we scrunched them in our hands to make a muffled sound which we thought could be useful in representing the state of the young boy during the opening sequence.
To add the sounds we had made to our sequence, we imported them into Final Cut Pro and added them to the parts that we thought they would work well with. We deleted the image part of the recording as only the sound was needed.
From experimenting with foley sounds, I found that it is important to plan before filming so that all of the sequence has sound. I also learnt that the best way to record foley sounds would be to have the sequence with you, so that the sound and footage can be in time with eachother. This is beneficial as it saves time during the editing process.
