Foley and sound design research
A foley artist is a person who who makes sound and audio for movies. They would change the sounds from the films. They change that cannot be filmed on the set of the film. These sounds could be anything from the smallest things such as a car horning to something big as an explosion. Foley artists play a huge part of a film as they make the viewing pleasure for the audience more entertaining as the listening experience is much better. They use a verity of props to recreate the sounds. they always record them in a high quality so the sound is crispy clear. the sound make the movies more immersive and gives the audience to feel like they was in the movie. sound is a huge factor of the movies the foley artist need to make sure tat the the audience can hear the every part of the city or wherever the film takes place. they accomplish this after using very high quality mics to recreate the sounds in the movie. This is done after the foley artist watches the movie in a silent background in real time so they can make the sounds as perfect as can be. many directors rely on foley artist to make the movie that better and more enjoyable.There are 3 types of foley, footsteps, movement and props. Sound is important because the video of the film or media can be grainy and poorly filmed however viewers pay more attention to the audio if the audio sounds odd or incorrect completely the viewer will point the audio out more than the video.

Footsteps Foley: this is for people and animal walking in different parts of the movie and the foley artist will make the sounds of the footsteps for the film by using different shoes or object on different types of surfaces. the foley artist may get some boots and some mud and this may recreate walking through a muddy field.
Movement Sounds: this is for small and petite sounds like someone breathing or some clothes moving or anything like that. Any sounds that add fine or minor details to the final movie. Theses minor sound do a number of different things in the movie such as making the movie more realistic and effective.
Props Foley: This is used to create sounds like gunshot or a car driving and much more. These props are really effective to recreate sounds to build them up more. Loads of props are used to create the sounds and these props could be the most random thing ever such as squeezing minced meat with your hand and that represents wet feet on floor boards or a door dead-bolt being opened and closed for a gun cocking. Many foley artists have different ways of creating the sounds.
