Software I'm going to be using for my Foley sounds:

For my sounds to be recorded, I will be using my own voice recorder app that's already been built in the phone.

Foley sounds I have decided to do:

- Crunching of leaves

- The swishing of clothing

- Water pouring.

- Scrunching paper

- Sounds of wind chimes

The items I'm going to be using:

- The sounds of crunching leaves ~ Crisp packets.

- The sound of wind chimes ~ Glass cup with a pencil/pen to lightly hit it with.

- Raging sea/Rain ~ Water from the shower/Tap.

- Swishing of two people walking past ~ Clothing/Scarves etc.

- Fireplace ~ Wobbling paper or gently squeezing Oreo packet.

Ideas I have gathered on the internet for Foley sounds:

Pictures of the items I am now using:

(e. g - With the first item I have chosen for my Foley, I think it can represent mouse clicking, when you're on a computer doing work. It can make a similar sound when you rub to sides of it together).

(e. g - I think with this item I have chosen, it can represent the trees blowing in the summer or it can tell us what it would be like to be trapped in a rain storm).

(e. g - For this item, I would think that it represents a person walking in a forest and trampling on fallen leaves. When creating this sound, it's almost as if you are in a horror movie, and you're suddenly all alone in this dark forest, and you hear the crunching of the leaves just flattened by a suspicious person creeping behind you, which really gives you that jump feeling in your chest and that you feel the tension of the leaves just crawling on your back).

(e. g - For the scarf, I would say it represents the forest trees blowing in the harsh weather like when you start to see the branches slightly moving left to right and the leaves just sway along with it. It could represent a boat's sail moving towards the right direction. On the other hand, it can also sound like two people walk past each other as you begin to swish clothing together to create that moving effect from people around you. Moreover, it would also represent it as two people walking past you, making that whoosh effect. What you can see in a person's perspective/view).
