- Sound and Music
- Types
- Non-Diegetic
- Music, voice overs, sounds etc
- Obviously added noise
- Diegetic
- Sound naturally in the frame (traffic, footsteps, dialogue)
- May be exaggerated in the sound effects department to heighten effect
- Non-Diegetic
- Mood and Meaning
- Sudden loud = Dramatic/Pay Attention!
- Silence or spooky music = suspense. Silence can unnerve audience if used to conventional background music. Can suggest realism in naturalistic drama, or tension in thrillers.
- Loud sounds make us jump = scary
- Peaceful music reassures - could be false sense of security though!
- Sad music triggers sympathy and emotional response
- Period/Genre
- Consolidates setting. Western, War, Horror, Romance etc
- Instruments
- Brass for harshness or war connotations. Strings for emotion. Drums for tension
- Pace
- Accerlaters during chase
- Louder to underscore dramatically important action
- Contrapuntal
- Contrasting music to what is happening. Confuses and disorientates the audience
- Sound Editing
- Sound bridge adds continuity. Can show same mood if music still the same? Also show cahnge in mood. Can show the link between two scenes.
