FOLEY PERFORMANCE & EDITING

Foley is a unique sound effect technique that involves creating and “performing” everyday sounds for movies and television shows, such as clothes rustle, cups picked up & put down, punches thrown etc. In the case of a fight, foley would create realistic impact sounds and, depending on the movie, sound designers would then augment those sounds for heightened impact.

​

Foley effects are combined with the film sound recorded on set but can replace them if the original recorded sound is inadequate. 

Most scenes use a combination of on-set/on-location recordings and foley effects.
