Sound
Sound: Sounds are used in films to create understanding for the audience and to create more meaning about the characters and their emotions.
Diegetic
sound: Sound whose source is visible on the screen or
whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film. This includes:
- voices of characters
- sounds made by objects in the story
- music represented as coming from instruments in the story space (=source music)
Non-Diegetic sound:
Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action. This includes:
- narrator's commentary
- sound effects which is added for the dramatic effect
- mood music
Contrapuntal: Contrapuntal sound is where the sounds or music used contrast with the film or movie clip it has been inserted into. Its sound that does not fit in with the events happening
Parallel: When the sound you hear in a film is expected e.g. a scene with children playing on a beach the parallel sounds would include laughter, talking and the sea.
On-screen: You can see where the sound is coming from e.g. a radio inside a car.
Off-screen: You can hear sound but cant see where its coming but it makes sense to the film world. E.g. Traffic and coughing.
Thriller scene analyses:
conclude:
Sandro, a good start where you identify the key terms of sound and provide some definitions. This needs to be completed though.
ReplyDeleteTo improve;
-a more detailed introduction to sound
-examples to illustrate your understanding of the key terms
-include a scene and identify three good uses of sounds using PEER
-in your conclusion, you identify some examples you are hoping to use, where and why are you planning to use them?
