Sound Effects

I LOVE sound effects. You know those movies where they start out that you don't see any of the characters, but you hear them typing. Or perhaps they even show some one typing and you can hear the keys? I love that :) It is one of my favorite sound effects. I was watching an older movie from the eighties or maybe even the seventies the other day and maybe the sound effects were a little louder than they should have been because I really noticed them...more than usual. I especially liked the sound of them running on pavement. I miss that sound in newer movies. Now don't get me wrong, I think there have been a lot of improvements on many levels in movie making. But the thing is, I LOVE sound effects! Sometimes I try to picture the person who is making them. I've seem some documentary type shows where they show how it is (or was) done, so I have an idea of how they get (or got) a lot of the sounds. So when I hear the sound of people running, I can see the person watching the film and trying to match the steps. That's another thing I like to listen for...ill timed sound effects. Too much would ruin a movie, but a little bit off on an effect here and there is kind of fun, like a treasure hunt ha ha!
