We need to talk about Kevin
This is a sound for screen practice clip that we can use for some voiceover practice. This is group work because in Foley studio two or more people have to work together to make a recording. In the previous, I wrote a blog about this film [We need to talk about Kevin] and I did some analysis of the sound of the film. I brought along a box of pills for the dubbing, as there is a sound of pills spilling on the ground in the film. We also found some tools on a shelf near the studio, such as the bottle that makes an incredible sound when you blow into it. We recorded some of the sounds because we had some problems with the sound so we recorded with zoom3. I think it’s a bit of a shame. When I put the recorded sound into the film I felt it was a bit empty and there were a lot of places where there was no sound. So we recorded some background sounds like the sound of the school building, the sound of the cars and people talking. The background music was produced by me. I didn’t have any ideas at first until there was a shot where the main character was being lifted up by a lot of people and then his arms were spread out and it made me think of Jesus and the church, so I took the melody from ‘Ode to Joy. I added a chorus to it to make the scene seem surreal.
