So for my series of experiments – my goal is to be better at foley sound effects, more comfortable with Adobe After-effects, and overall just a better filmmaker.
With foley FX, I think it’s just a matter of being able to record the right sounds in the right context, in order to create higher-quality sound FX. However, my goal to be able to move a camera through a surface (wall or floor) in after-effects, may prove to be more of a challenge. Why? Well, I have no experience with after-effects.
I’m interested in working on soundscapes and foley effects within shots. As an overall goal – I want to be able to improve the quality of my shots and short films by using my own, original sound effects to create the space in which my characters exist in.
The first difficulty I have is simply the shot I want to edit sound for. I don’t know whether or not I want to work with someone in the class to create the shot – in which I will then foley and soundscape – or if there is a visual element I could experiment with, with which I could then experiment with sound as well.
