The Role of the Sound Editor

The role of the sound editor is to select and assemble sound recordings in preparation for the final sound mixing or mastering of a television program, motion picture, video game, or any production involving recorded or synthetic sound.

 Sound editing developed out of the need to fix the incomplete, undramatic, or technically inferior sound recordings of early talkies, and over the decades has become a respected filmmaking craft, with sound editors implementing the aesthetic goals of motion picture sound design.

Foley sounds is sounds that you record on a boom Mic to match up with the action that will be happening in your film and also maybe some dialogue from your film script. So for example, you may record the sound of you foot stepping which you can then put in your film to match up with the foot stepping action in your film.

Here are some examples of some Foley sounds that we completed in groups.
