Workshop 3 Evaluation

The scene I have chosen to re-record the sounds for a clip from ‘Jurassic World’.

To begin the process of re-creating the sound effects, the first step we took was working out which sounds we needed to make and how we could create them. 

A recorder was then used to record our Foley sounds with the objects we have found, and then the recorded sounds were downloaded onto the Premier software as I believe it is the best software for editing the sounds with a video successfully. Finally, after editing all the sound effects I added a non-diegetic soundtrack as background music that I believe fit the mood of the scene well for the best affect possible.

Overall, I believe this Foley sound re-creation has been successful, however it still could have been improved. For example, my end product was mostly exact with regards to the sound and image syncing and timing. However, some sounds sich was the banging we used for the dinosaurs footsteps were often too slow or too fast and no re-recording was done, meaning it was more challenging to edit my product well, and took longer, therefore leading to some of the timing not being completely exact. Additionally, the sound quality was good yet could have been improved still by the use of better equipment during the recording process and a more well thought out quiet recording space. This would have also given my end product a more professional sound.

The most difficult sound to recreate was the dinosaur roar as it is difficult to make that sound accurate and took further editing to ensure it sounded good. Also, the tearing of fabric was tricky since we simply did not have the right materials, however I was still able to make it sound accurate and fit perfectly.
