Foley is the reproduction of everyday
sound effects that are added to film, video, and other media in
post-production to enhance audio quality. These reproduced sounds can be anything from the swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and breaking glass. The best Foley art is so well integrated into a
film that it goes unnoticed by the
audience. It helps to create a sense of reality within a scene. Without these crucial
background noises, movies feel unnaturally quiet and uncomfortable.
