Sound Planning (Effects and foley)

Foleying from Cal Ives-Keeler on Vimeo.

Foleying is the method of creating sound with various objects.

We used foleying methods to get a gun shot sound for our OTS. As you can see, we used a ruler and staple gun against different objects to see which sound is most effective for a gun shot. As a group, we thought the part at 00:10 was the most similar to a gun shot. Elliott and I are viewed creating the sounds here, and Cal is recording.

Although we just filmed within school, I think the sound is perfect for a gunshot. If we were to improve, we could of chosen a better location, with possibly less echo, however I believe the echo makes the gunshot more realistic.

Our group is planning to use this sound for the opening credits, as the first shot I will already have a bullet wound.
