ABSTRACT

When the typical lm or television viewer enters the cineplex to enjoy the latest release from Hollywood, an independent theatre to watch a documentary or sits in front of the computer to watch a webisode, she or he is not wondering who did the Foley or what Foley will be in the soundtrack. This minor obsession is the territory of the sound expert or fan. However, the viewer will be affected, albeit unknowingly, by the sound cues meticulously designed, cued, performed, and edited. The sonic experience might enhance or distract. Either way, it has impact.
