• Foley, named after sound-effect artist Jack
Foley, is the reproduction of everyday sound
effects added to media in post-production to
enhance audio quality.
• These reproduced sounds can be anything
from swishing of clothing to footsteps to
squeaky doors and breaking glass.

3. HOW DID WE CREATE OUR SOUNDS?
• By using a variety of vegetables, such as carrots and celery, we have been able to produce different
sound effects.
• We have used a method of our first hitting the surface of the pepper to create punching sounds
• We have used a method slowly breaking celery sticks and carrots in half in order to create a rib breaking
sound

4. WHAT EQUIPMENT DID WE USE?
• To create the scenes, we have
used a Canon 5D camera and
a Tripod.
• To record the sound, we have
used a Zoom Microphone.
