Foley Sound (Research)

Foley Sound is the reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, videos, and other media when they are in post-production to enhance the quality of the audio. These reproduced sounds, named after sound-effects artist Jack Foley, can be anything from the swishing of clothing in the wind and the patter of footsteps to doors squeaking and rattling as they open and glass shattering when it gets broken.

This is mainly done to further enhance the atmosphere produced by the piece of media, as it helps to draw the audience into the world which its trying to create. Foley sound actually complements or replaces sound recorded at the time of filming known as Field Recording. This is because it is an excellent means of supplying the subtle sound that production microphones

ADR – Automated Dialogue Replacement – Dubbing over the original sound

Room Tone – Recording the sound of the room
