Foley

Foley

In our opening title sequence we used foley as we where unhappy with the quality of the speech audio and because we had a lot of background noise in the scenes, such as wind and constant noise of traffic. 

By doing this it would improve the quality of our final product and get us extra marks for the 'construction' section of our coursework. 

The foley was recorded in a studio in our schools music department. We recorded the lines of the two characters again using a compressor mic which allowed us to get a much more crisp recording and improving the audio quality on our opening title sequence even further. Once recorded we then saved it into GarageBand where we either saved the recordings or added effects such as distortions (for the police radio announcement). 

These saved files where then added to our OTS in Adobe After effects and lip synced with original clips to give it a realistic finish. 

Unfortunately when uploaded to youtube the audio became out of sync with the picture and so the speech sometimes does not link with the movement of the characters lips.

Here is the finished version(top) and the first draft(bottom) to compare with and without the addition of foley:
