The Matrix Foley Sound
For The Matrix we will need the following sounds:
-A gunshot sound 04-10 and 14-16
-A punching sound 00-01 We can just punch something of a similar strength of a body.
-A falling sound 03-04 We can drop/ throw something on the floor of a similar weight of a body.
-A newspaper tearing sound 04-05 For this we can just rip a newspaper as is done in the clip.
-Phone/ Radio sounds 10-13
-Shouting 36-37 We can shout something that fits with the clip
-Footsteps 13-14 We can just record multiple footstep sounds and lay them over each other. Marble flooring.
-Picking up a bag 20-21We can just pick up a bag as is done in the film.
-Throwing gun on floor sound 22-23 and 24-25 We will drop something of a similar size and weight on the floor.
-Gun drawing sound 25-26 For this we can scrape an object against another objects of similar materials.

Evaluation:
I think that we did well as we recorded most of the sounds that we wanted with the exception of one that we had to use resources off the internet to get, that was the radio static sound as we couldn't make it. I think we also worked quite well as a team as we recorded the sounds we needed sufficiently quickly. When it came to the editing we both looked and found the soundtrack to go alongside the the rest of the sounds and we also both did the editing. While doing the editing we added some sound panning to make the clip and sounds seem like they have more depth and are not just flat noises as they pan from one speaker to another, we panned the sounds of the footsteps and some of some of the bullet sounds.
We have made sure that the sound of the video and the background music are in sync with the footage as we did this in the editing process. I think that what we made is appropriate for the audience as it matches the footage and suits what is similar to what i think the actual footage sounds like. I chose to use this soundtrack as it fits with the genre of the film and has no singing in most of it so it does not distract anyone from the rest of the sounds or the clip.We also changed the sound level of the foley sounds that we recorded to be slightly quieter than the soundtrack that i used as when i imported them they broke up the footage as they were too loud.
I think that the finished product is good but i think it would be better if we had had more time as we did start the editing process after we recorded the original sounds but we did not record what laptop we saved it on, hence we had to record the sounds twice, But overall i am happy with the sounds that we recorded and how we manipulated them in the editing process as they are quite crisp as previously when we had recorded sounds the room was quite loud so there were some very faint echoes in the background, that we did try to fix and get rid of, but the sound effects on final cut didn't change the fact there were slight echoes in the background.
