Ideas for our thriller - Foley sounds

In our thriller we will have a wide range of foley sounds that we will need to record these include:

- Heavy breathing
- Running through leaves
- Falling over
and so on.
 These sounds are for both the girl who is running in the forest and the man in the ski mask.

Day Three of recording

Day three final day of filming

On our final day we met up early, which was a bad idea because the weather was too bright and we couldn't film, so we had to wait around two hours before we could start filming. In this two hour gap we done lots of planning and put our ideas together.

 Once it was dark enough we started filming and did manage to capture many clips including bloopers. We only had about 45 minutes of recording but in those 45 minutes we managed to get many quality clips.

Overall the last day of filming was a good day because we didn't leave too much work for the last day just incase and due to that we managed to get all the clips we wanted.

Day Two of recording

Second day of our recording.

On the second day of our recording we had established that the best time to film our thriller is between the hours 16:00 and 17:00. We had 1 hour to film and we managed to get a lot of footage in that time. However it got too dark and we couldn't film as much as we planned on getting. On day two nobody was absent.

Overall it was a quite day we got some footage but hopefully on day 3 we will get more done.

Day one of recording

This was the first day we started recording.
We started recording around 15:30 and ended at 17:30 because the forest is only open until 17:45.
On the first day we managed to get around 10 clips of Justyna running in the forest. Including different sort of camera angling, long shots, close ups and many more. Unfortunately Lucas couldn't make it to the first day because he was ill but we still managed to get lots of footage.

Overall it was a good day and we managed to get lots of quality clips.

Day 3 of recording

On day 3, which was our final day of recording, we thought that we should meet up earlier, because the sky is more lighter, so we met at 2:30. When we got to the place, we realised that it is too light at the time, and we could not record, because on our film it would not look right. Therefore we had 2 hours, to burn in the woods, and we were talking about planning during that time. We felt a bit upset about waiting such a long time, but that is because we did not research about the best time slot for recording in that location.

When the lighting got darker, and it was good to start recording, we get to work straight away. We felt motivated to finish all our shots, as it was last day of our recording. We got some nice shots, and finished everything that we had to record, and overall I think that our footage is very good, and I can't wait to see final film opening.

Day 2 of recording

Unfortunately, I couldn't join my group on the first day of recording, because I was ill, but I made my best effort to come second day. We met in highgate woods around 4, because we thought that it is the best time slot, as the light already get darker, so it is not too dark.

We recorded some nice footage of girl running through the forest, we combined our ideas to get different camera angles to make it more interesting, like for example panning through the forest, low angle shots etc.

Overall, I think that the day was successful, because we got some nice footage from our recording. However, we got a bit worried, because we did not think that we have done enough for a day, because the sky got a bit too dark already, and the park was about to be closed as well, but we decided that next day we will come early to finish up our work.

Foley sounds

In our film opening, we will be using Foley sounds, to make our movie more professional. Foley sounds, are sounds that are recorded separately from the movie clip, and added on later for better sound effect. The sounds that we will be using in our film, is heavy breathing of a girl, as well as the mask, sounds of running through leaves, as we are doing our film in the forest. I think that it is important to use Foley sound in films, because you can't always get a clear sound from recording film, and the action sometime lacks because of unclear sounds.

These are some images from the Internet, of how exactly does recording Foley sounds look.

Beginning of Editing


This is the begining of our editing as you can see we have added many different clips together and make sure they match, but we still havent started adding sounds. we have decided that we will start adding sounds after the whole clip is done,  this is because it would be much easier to add the foley sounds once the video is fully done.

Ideas for our thriller - Sound

For our thriller we have thought about adding some sounds, one idea i thought about was adding some music one which i found on youtube. I like this because it has a suspense theme to it.

Ideas For Our Extra Foley Sounds

The foley sounds we are using in our opening vary from sounds of heavy breathing of both the girl running in tthe forest and also as foley sound of the mysterious man in the ski-mask.
Also we are using sounds of the girls footsteps in the forest and by this we had to record the sound of someone running through the forest whilst kicking leavs to add just that effect.
