For our opening title sequence we need to find a suitable sound effect to simulate a gunshot. We decided that we would use foleying methods to get the right sound we thought would be best to use in the production. Ideally we would prefer to record the actual sound of a gun firing but due to the fact we unfortunately don't have access to firearms, we are unable to do so. However, we did do some searching on the internet for sounds of gunshots but they weren't all that good and also not of a good sound quality as some where distorted and unclear. A method we tried out was hitting a hard surface with a plastic ruler. This was tried a few times and had a sound that was somewhat similar to a gunshot but slightly a bit too high pitched. Another method we used was using a staple gun to staple a surface and then recording the sound. This method provided the best results for us because we all agreed that in one instance it made the best sound of a gunshot. Although what we recorded does sound quite good, we should probably re-record with a a recording device rather than a camera because it should be of a better quality. It'd also be worth trying out some different methods such as pyrotechnics and also to re-record some samples of hitting the ruler against a surface by changing the material of the ruler and surface and also where we hold it.
Here's our foleying:
