Foley and Credits

     Hi blog! For the editing process, we needed to create some foley sounds, which we worked together to come up with ideas and decide on what ones we would need to film ourselves in contrast to the ones that we could easily find online. We had the idea to film us creating the sounds, however we did not have the time to get together with all of us, which was a major setback to what we wanted. So instead, Lee volunteered to film it herself to upload on our blogs!

    The ideas that we came up with were using a couch for drawing sounds and to imitate the chair sounds of Sam, although we may have to change that if we use a more metal based chair. We also used a pillow to represent Sam falling on the pavement when he almost gets hit by Kai's car. There were several others, but for the most part to save time we are going to use sounds from online. 

    We also needed to come up for what font we would use for the credits, which we decided would not actually represent our jobs because we all worked together for each job. So instead, we put all of our names down on two random jobs to fit the typical style of a real production. For the fonts we knew we wanted it to vaguely resemble handwriting, so here were the options that we did not choose.

    We ended up choosing one that was not cursive like the third option, cause we wanted it to be easily legible, not too thin like the second option so it would show up well on a busy background, and not as large as the first one because we wanted the actual video to be the main focus. The one that we did choose is the closest to handwriting, as it is not as perfect as typical Arial or Times New Roman font, which we definitely didn't want, as the coming of age genre is more relaxed and a kind of unserious genre.
