''Falling Down'' Foley and Iconic Sounds Connected with Genre

Iconic sounds, Why we chose the sounds.

0.40 - We chose a heavy breathing sound for this point of the sequence to show the character is stressed and annoyed. It also creates a claustrophobic atmosphere which makes the viewer feel uncomfortable and wanting to know why he is stressed and sweating.
1.00 - Then we selected the ambiance of an outside sound to show that the camera is coming outside the car and into the traffic jam.
1.12 - We chose the motor sound  to enhance the traffic jam environment and to show that the cars haven't been moving in awhile as smoke is arising from the car in front and the sound just adds effect and keeps the viewer guessing on why the cars are not mobile.
1.30 - This is the sound of a coach motor, this simply just introduces the coach full of children into the scene.
1.37 - We selected the sound of loud children, this also shows that the cars haven't been moving as the sound of the kids are loud which indicates they are bored. This sound also reasons with why the character in the car is stressed and annoyed.
2.00 - The broken radio is sounded to set the scene as there is no signal on the radio, this keeps the viewer wondering where the traffic jam is and why there is no signal and what the characters are doing there and how they got there.
2.19 - The fly sound is added to enhance the frustration of the character as he kills the fly. And if this sound was not there the scene wouldn't look right as the actions don't show that its a fly but with the sound its all clear.
2.28 - Then we chose the turning on of the air conditioning sound as it shows that the environment is hot and the characters all hot and bothered.

Group , How we went about to complete this task

All three of us separated off too learn and research individual topics and then come back and discuss what we had learnt and found out . Toby went off to learn the timings and marking out of the actions in the falling down sequence which came in handy as Dave was learning how to import the sounds and video sequence on Garage band and apply the certain sounds at the correct time so the sounds would match the actions within the video. I then went off to research and watch videos and make notes on why sounds are so important within a film, I found out that sounds can build suspense and mystery, give away personality of a character instantly, create ambiance and set the film and add action effects and build drama and make a scene more interesting to watch. I discussed and taught all these aspects to the other two members off the group after I finished doing the research , so that we then can use this education to produce an effective Foley for the ''Falling down''sequence, this will also help in the long run when we comes to creating the sound editing for our opening title thriller sequence. After we all regrouped and went through what we done individually, we applied all the skills we had learnt as a whole to re-create the sound Foley for the ''Falling down'' sequence. This helped us as a group as it helps us to understand the importance of sounds and why they need to be done well and accurately to fit timings. Its also going to improve our opening thriller sequence as we can build more mystery and suspense and improve character creation through sound and timing to better our sequence and make it the best it can possibly become.
