Foley Sounds

Foley sounds are sound effects which are added to a film or any other media source in order to enhance the quality of the audio. Foley sounds are created in the editing stage.  These sounds can be:
  • Swishing of clothing or wind.
  • Footsteps.
  • Squeaky doors.
  • Shattering glass.
  • Knocking.
Foley sounds are used in the film Hunger, especially when the doctors puts the duvet over the main character. Foley sounds are also used through footsteps in the hallway in some scenes of the film. However, we would expect to hear these sounds as they sound realistic and they contrast whats happening to the main character. This contrast is the noise of the hallway compared to the silence that surrounds the main character when he is on his deathbed. 

I can used Foley sounds in my horror movie to enhance how realistic it is. For example; I can use footsteps to increase the tension of some scenes in order to make the audience feel tense and scared. Knocking can also be used to create this tense and scary atmosphere I intend to accomplish when making my film opening. 

Here is a trailer of the Film Hunger:
