Evaluation

Finally, you will need to produce an evaluation about the success of the foley sound and track you have made.

You should include audience feedback and improvements you could make.

I would say I am happy at how my Foley clip turned out, I think some of the sound effects sounded just like the original which i thought was funny.

We were given the project of Foley by all using the same “Mr. Bean Holiday Movie” scene where he is in the French restaurant at the train station which is a funny scene to be able to remake the sounds for. When we were told about the certain scene I was thinking how well we could get these sounds. All the sounds were removed nothing was left for us to use since we had to make our own sounds. I gathered around with my music video group since we were also trying to figure out what our plans were for the music video so we all started to write down on a piece of paper the sounds we could all make for the Mr. bean video clip, even though we were suppose to do it on our own mainly I think it actually helped us a lot more with our year working together more in groups.

I learnt a lot whilst doing this Foley project not just by making my own Foley video clip but also from the research of finding out about Foley and understanding how it works. The skills that I have applied for this project have been the use of thinking of what to do when trying to make the sounds that would fit the video clip of the movement Mr. bean is making.

What could have gone better is I should have tried to make more of the sounds, since a lot of us worked in group even though it was supposed to be a single project so mainly some of us used each others sound effects that we worked on together in the studio. At the time I didn't really think as much into the sounds as I should have which I wish I did but it was fun trying to make the sounds to match the video. I have a behind the scenes video of me and two of my peers from college working in the studio with some objects we tried using to record some of the sounds for. Some of us were not that into making the voice noises that much so it was a struggle, but we got there in the end which I was happy whilst editing to see how the recordings went well with the video clip.

The only problems that did occur were I found out after I exported the video that at the last minute of the clip there is no sound at all which was annoying but I just thought it was a small problem that I could fix so I went back to Premiere Pro to see if I could export the video again to only find out I lost the last edit I had made since it was not saved. With this problem that happened reminds me to always keep saving my work whilst working which will help me for next time I make a project using editing on Premiere Pro.

Learning about Foley has made me put more thought into the movies I now watch since I figure out myself is the sounds are real or not which I find really cool because its what the Foley artists are trying to get to the point where nobody can notice the difference if its a sound they made. I find Foley makes the movies more exciting and entertaining just like I found this project to be.
