Final Project: Music and Sound Effects Assignment
Introduction
Last week, we covered Sound Effects. Here are the resources we explored:
I selected foley sounds that we will use in our final project. The link below will take you to our OneDrive folder, where you will find the old clips we used before, new clips and a collection of foley sounds from last week. Please explore all folders before making a decision.
Final Assignment Details
We will add music and foley sound effects to an original clip or any of your choices from the folder provided.
Guidelines
- Create original footage or explore all clips in the provided folder
- After creating or choosing the clip, delete its sound if it is not original footage. You cannot use the original sound of the clip
- Select the music for your clip: remember to consider everything we learned in the spotting section
- Explore the Foley sound library, select sounds your class created, and choose the best ones for your clip
- Add music and sound effects and mix it appropriately. Make sure the levels are done to the best of your ability
- If you can’t find the appropriate sounds for your clip from our library (only if), you can create new sounds
Student Examples
Valeria Alvarez
