SOUND

TV, Film and Theater Foley Artists and Sound Designers use found objects to create sound effects to be used in their shows and movies. For example a feather duster flapped back and forth across a hand can sound like wings, pressing down on a bunch of plastic ribbon can sound like someone walking on grass, or coconut halves clapped together to sound like horse hooves.

The designers and artists combine these sound effects into a soundscape. This is similar to what you see when looking at a landscape, only instead of being what you see, it’s what you hear.
