Sound design can range from the audio captured to noises added many months later. In a room full of three people with tools you wouldn’t expect.
Foley
Foley is the use of unconventional tools and props to make sounds that help contextualize a scene and or fictional world in TV and Film. By filling it with ‘Fill noise’ or added noise. All of it is done in post-production.
For this task there are about 3 different videos that require foley and one of them is of a deck of cards being shuffled, another is of a glass plant cover being removed. All three require foley.
To capture sounds or foley for the clips you’d need to use an external microphone and find a sound that you can trick the brain into thinking is the sound you wish to hear.
Thunder – It’s very hard to capture thunder without clipping the audio. You’d instead want to use a thin metal sheet that is easily malleable and as such you’d shake it to capture a sound that you can trick the brain into thinking is thunder. All without clipping your audio source.
Sand – The best way to capture that sound or something similar to that of sand. If you don’t have access is to use grains of rice in a closed bowl you can rub some shoes lightly on a carpet.
Card flipping – You can use a heavy book, or thick stacks of paper and flip through that to make a similar sound.
Background noise – You can use the ambient noises around you to capture the noises you would hear at a beach.
