 Common Foley Sounds Used in Murder mystery Genre

In murder mystery films, foley artists have to recreate a large range of noises to enhance the atmosphere and suspense to heighten the audience's immersion. The following are common foley sounds and how they usually recreated:

• Stabbing- usually involves plunging a knife into different materials like fruit, meat, or even a wet sponge.
• Gunshot- artists often use slamming doors, firing blanks, or popping balloons.
• Bone Breaks- Usually things that can be snapped such as celery, sticks, or even bones made out of resin or plastic are used.
• Body Falls- artists might drop bags of flour, sandbags, or even themselves onto various surfaces.
• Strangulation- artists may use their hands to grip and twist fabric or another soft object.
