Foley Artist

A Foley artist is someone who re-creates various sounds used or needed for filmmaking in post production, this is done for sounds that cannot properly be recorded on set or to improve audio quality as the original may not be of a high enough standard.

An example where a Foley artist has added sounds in post production is in The Hunger Games.

What is Foley?

The art of scoring a movie

name your favorite soundtrack and explain why it appeals to you.

My favorite soundtrack is All of the stars from The fault in our stars because it brings meaning to the film and makes it more emotional than it already is. It creates meaning and shows us the true love between both of the dying characters and the soundtrack implies that they’ll always be together no matter where they are which creates empathy and shows us the extent of the love in the film which give it a bigger impact when one of the characters die (spoiler alert)

Voice overs/ narration

example of a film that uses narration and why

STAND BY ME

Stand by me uses narration to tell the story more effectivelyt allowing the film to flow better as the audience could keep up with the styory better and understand it from the narrators poiint of view

I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS

The use of narration in this film makes it seem weird which makes the audience feel on edge and uncomfortable from the start. The director does this to portray the oddness from the start of the Horror film to give us strange vibes and to imply that something is wrong.
