One would think every sound we hear in a movie was all recorded and filmed on the spot, and in some cases it is. Really though, all the sounds we hear in films the bumps, scratches, pulling and even footsteps are added in after everything is already shot.
A method called Foley.
What it is that they basically play the full movie in a sound studio where they have tools and nicknacks that makes the everyday sounds we hear in everyday life.
For example, here is a scene in Jurassic Park done in Foley:
All the nice sounds we hear is all thanks to a man named Jack Foley, During filming every little sound simply can't be picked up by a mic. What film makers usually use is a Boom mic and thats just to focus on the dialogue and even then, sometimes they go into the studio and do some ADR, (Automatic Dialogue Replacement) which is what it sounds like. More on ADR later.
Anyways, a mic can't pick up the usual sounds we hear everyday, so its thanks to Jack Foley who one day thought, why not make and record the sounds in the studio while simultaneously looking at the film on the screen.
