A sound other than speech or music made artificially for use in a play, film, or other broadcast production.
Why Use Sound Effects?
Sound effects are pre-recorded sound cues that help us tell a story. It is usually hard to actually detect the use of sound effects, if they have been editing properly, however, if they are missing it becomes noticeable. As an audience we are used to hearing sounds around as constantly, even in quiet deserted room there will still be some source of sound. In order to make a piece of film to come across as natural and realistic we need to match the picture with a sound.
Why Did We Need Sound Effects?
During the filming of our thriller opening it was very windy, which resulted in the majority of our audio being the sound of gusting winds. To over come this problem we discussed that perhaps we could record the audio in a recording booth and then in editing piece it together so that is it in sync with the video.
Another problem we faced was cutting out unwanted sounds. As our opening included the use of a dog, during filming Cameron, the owner of Molly (dog) was often out of shot of the camera telling Molly to sit or stay still as well as in one scene he was calling her name so that she would run towards him. To overcome this problem, in certain clips we took out the audio completely and used sound effects and in other scenes, we cut the audio so that you can no longer hear Cameron's Voice.
