Sound

In the lesson on Friday (12/12/14)  we were analysing the sound in the film 'Priest.' We were identifying; diegetic, non diegetic, ambient, synchronous, asynchronous, contrapuntal, dialogue and the use of silence. We analysed and identified what the sounds were and spoke about the effect that it has on the movie and what mood it puts the characters and audience in. The sound effects used in the second half of the clip that we watched helped me to identify what was happening in the film as this part had many sound effects added over the visuals while the only thing that was being filmed is the girl underneath the floorboards. All of the sounds in this clip add tension and suspense to the story. The sound helps to amplify the mood and the characters relationships with each other, while also helping to show what type of movie this is. This is very helpful to think about when organising what sounds are going to be used in the opening title sequence that I am making. I need to take into consideration what effect the sound is going to have in the OTS and how it is going to affect the audience. I also need to think about what type of sound I am going to have in this  diegetic, non diegetic, ambient, synchronous, asynchronous and contrapuntal sound. This is something that is very important to think about because if the wrong type of sound is used then this will mean that this OTS will not be of the highest quality possible.
