Archive Film and Foley Workshop

  • Museum in the Park Stratford Park GL5 4AF (map)

A door slams shut, distant thunder rumbles, a clock ticks … how were these sounds created in the pre-digital era? Come and discover the wonderful world of archive films and Foley sound in this fabulous workshop with Into Film Southwest. Whether you are an aspiring sound artist, an archive film buff or just want to explore, this workshop is a must!

You’ll be introduced to Archive Film and the principles of Foley sound creation. The workshop will involve discussion around Archive Film and hands on sound creation, using everyday objects to create sound effects for some early silent film clips. Foley sound creation is a fun and accessible activity, suitable for all young people.

Foley sound takes its name from Jack Foley, an American sound effects artist who pioneered sound effect recording techniques used in filmmaking.
