the processes of the tests were entirely experimental and were only theorized to begin with. However with each test I learned from every individual take of each specific sound, where to place to mic, how far away from the action or how how close to get the best audio. I discovered that the imitation of sound can sometimes work better than actually getting the sound from that of the originator.
imitations are useful and only that but they are also sometimes a more realistic improvement to the effect of that sound.
I made a few mistakes with a few of the takes as well as taking more time and effort with some of the sounds and that is truly my bias unfortunately showing through toward some of the sound effects and what they can do however I believe that shows that I have the passion to do Foley sound and in addition that I can do it well enough to keep recreating the sound effect till the are of good enough standard top be in a film project.
Props are very useful but what is more useful is having members of crew to bounce ideas off of and help you create new sounds that you yourself wouldn't have thought of. Research is also a very big part of the process because of you don't know what makes the best imitation of a specific sound then you are shortchanging yourself and the production that you are working for, you need to have the best quality sound and effect to match the quality of the film.
