Unit 38: Soundtrack Production for Animation

Using Foley Sound

Plan

These are the noises that require Foley sound. They are too difficult and/or complicated to create live on set:

Horse's hooves and other noises, Bow and Arrows, Shouting and Screaming, Characters falling over and being hit with arrows

Props

We will be using props to create Foley sounds. These will include:

We can beat coconuts in a rhythm for the sound of the Horse's hooves

We can blow through a pen lid to create the sound of an arrow zipping through the air

We can spring a rule for he sound of an arrow hitting the ground or a tree

We can stab materials like cardboard or paper to create the effect of arrows hitting characters

Soundtrack

We will select a piece of music to accompany the animation. Because it is a fast, action-packed sequence, we will be using music that is fast-paced. The animation should fit with the music's rhythm.

We used this piece of music because we thought the quick drum beat fit well with the  speed of the sequence and added to the tension.
