Abstract
Tigers are at the top of the food chain among felines. Their roaring sounds have long been used frequently in Movie and broadcast production. In the early days of broadcasting, there were no portable recorders, so tiger roars had to be made using tools in the studio. This process of making sounds needed for movies or broadcasts using tools is called Foley sound. These Foley sounds were gradually replaced by recorded real sounds as portable recorders were introduced. Many unique and interesting Foley sounds were used in the early days of broadcasting, but they have gradually disappeared, and only a few remain now. Among them, this paper aims to study and restore the tools and methods related to the production of Tiger Roar Foley Sound. For the study, we compared and verified the Actual Tiger Roar Sound and the Tiger Roar Foley Sound using the tool. The reason for researching and restoring the disappearing Foley Sound is to secure the possibility of using Foley Sound, which contains the history of broadcasting technology and the meaning of data preservation, for various contents. The research results confirmed that the Tiger Roar Foley Sound is very similar to the Actual Tiger Roar Sound and that the tools used to make the sound and the method used are unique and interesting, making them worth preserving. Various Foley Sounds have already been used in exhibition content, experience content, performance content, etc. In the future, it is necessary to discover and reproduce more Foley Sounds and utilize them in various contents.
