Foley Artists

Foley artists are people who make sound for movies, they can make diegetic sound or non-diegetic sound. Foley artists are a huge part of any film making, they create all of the necessary sound needed to make a movie, for example in an old western film, you have the sound of the horse trotting away, the Foley artists then make the sound, from scratch, so this can be done by coconuts being bashed together to get the impression that its a horse trotting.

• Coconuts being bashed together to make the sound of a horse trotting
• To rub cloth together so that it sounds like someones walking through snow
• To rub clothing together so that it sounds like someones moving around
• To walk on a hard surface with big boots to have someone walking up behind you
• Hitting an apple with a stick to create the sound of someone being hit
