Sound effects fall under four basic categories: hard sounds, background, Foley, and design. Most hard sounds and background can be sourced from sound effects libraries, which exist as digital files or on CDs and are carefully cataloged with precise descriptions. All production companies and motion picture studios have their own unique libraries, and a veteran SFX editor will have his or her own collection of recorded material.
These sound effects are used to replace “dirty” (that is, unusable) sound recorded during principal photography, or to include as supplemental noises that enhance the environment but do not correspond to specific action visible on screen (for instance, wind and insect noise added to an exterior shot).
Where Foley sound must be created, the sound effects editor will collaborate with the Foley artist to recreate natural sounds on a Foley stage, which is then synchronized with the visual action in the picture.
