Foley to an image: Nighthawk

I decided that in addition to creating a foley piece to a movie clip, I would also create foley to a still image, I chose the painting Nighthawk - this is a link to the painting.

Seb and Andrew discussed the option of creating sounds to a still image instead of a film clip. To further myself in this project I decided to create both.

I think the sound in this piece represents this painting well and the atmosphere it creates. I don't this piece was very successful, I think I made the audio sound too busy in comparison with the image. To improve I think I could've added a soundtrack in the background of music playing in the diner. I think I could have also used some sort of sound that suggests a problem or changes the atmosphere - perhaps using dialogue.

feedback? how did this help develop work? So far I have no feedback, to improve my piece I would ask others for their opinion and add to it according to the given feedback.

From this task I have took away the experience of creating foley sounds and that I enjoy this process. I think with a range of items I could create a larger range of foley sounds. I think I might use foley sound in other works to further emphasise the sounds used.
