Sound Effect's in Film (Blog #21)

Can you Hear-

. Obviously in film, all the sound effects and soundtrack are not there during the recording of the clips of the film, it's all put in later. It would be to difficult to have everything there all at once, so, everything is recorded and added in in small bits. One at a time.
While filming, directors and production focus in on audio dialogue and even then, it could be added in later in a technique called looping or ADR. Small nuances such as a scratch on the face are added in during the post-production stage.
Sounds could be broken up into three groups
Ambient noises, small little sounds such as an atmosphere of being outside or in a busy city.
Library Effects, purchased commercially and are pre-recorded
Foley, a sound that is recorded of things on screen such as clothing, footsteps and props
Vaudeville was the introduction into the idea of using certain sound effects for certain things and then came along radio broadcasts as these were a hub for the use of sound effects to go along with the story.  

What I Hear?

. I already knew that certain sounds were then placed during sound production but I learned about Foley and what that exactly means, which was pretty interesting and history about vaudeville and radio broadcasts, that's pretty interesting, I honestly think that people need to do/ bring this back again.
