Foley Job Application for Media Studies

A Foley's (named after the Jack Foley) job in film creation is to add ambient sounds such as footsteps, door creaks and paper rustling that can not be easily picked up by a boom mic. This helps the movie feel less empty of normal sounds. With that said, here is my job application.


I am good at remembering and recalling small moments in a film.
I can write on paper, allowing me to be able to plan what I should do at what time to create the intended effect.
I can think of creative and effective ways to create matching sounds.
I have some experience editing my own sound if needed.
If I miss something important I will attempt to re-record it.
