Sound-Foley

Foley, named after audio cues craftsman Jack Foley, is the generation of regular audio cues that are added to the film, video, and other media in after creation to improve sound quality. These imitated sounds can be anything from the washing of dress and strides to squeaky entryways and breaking glass. The best Foley workmanship is so very much incorporated into a film that it goes unnoticed by the audience. It makes a feeling of reality inside a scene. Without these background commotions, films feel unnaturally calm and awkward.
Without a doubt, I would use foley for sounds for my film opening. As this would be a scene focused on the sharpened and specified sounds of objects, I would need to be very realistic and clear with the sound I would be using in which therefore would not be any sound effects found from royalty free websites.
I have found many websites to tricks on foley makings such as:

On the other hand, there are many noises that are hard to foley such as a passing truck and without a studio, it would be rather difficult to make such grand sound effects without using the real recorded sounds or a clip from a royalty-free website. Despite this fact, I still plan on using foley sound effects for as much of the opening as possible. Since my opening would not involve much of dialogue, the sound is one of the most important ways to convey a message and pull the attention of the audience to the screen with both their sight and hearing involved.
