Foley sound. P1

What is a foley artist, what do they do and why are they needed? A foley artist is needed as the film producers can't get all sounds recorded by microphones, there are mics on the actors recording their voice which keep out other sounds so they don't get messed up by background noise. if they record foley sounds they can keep good loud dialog with no problems and add sound.
Explain the order in which the Foley artist creates the sound (mention the 'prop pass')?
Start off with the main character footsteps then background. everything moving on screen will of needed foley sound.

What are the key skills and qualities foley artists need to have?
a very large creative mind, you need to make sure you can do the timing to each sound.
What is the advantage of using real objects to create sound FX rather than using digital production or sound libraries?
you can build upon what you want the sound to sound like, you are able to create a real metallic sound by using actual metal objects not produced on computers.
Using specific examples describe how key sounds are created (use the Star Wars and Robin Hood clips if you want).
sounds can be created by going out and about to record real sounds, this means the sounds are relatable to the viewer and they feel like its more real. sounds will be recorded from animals, factories and engines.
