Why is sound so important
Sound is very important to film and makes up 50% of the actual film
Sound is in media terms it is everything that you hear in a film.
A soundscape is combing sound to create a certain atmosphere.
There are different terminologies for soundscapes including:
- Wild track
- Ambient sound
- Diegetic
- Non-diegetic
- Score
- Song
- Voiceover
- Dialogue
- Dubbing
- Foley
- Synchronous
- Asynchronous
- Sound bridge
- Sound motif
Sound design it is the process of specifying acquiring and manipulating or generating audio elements.
Sounds used in film to establish tone, atmosphere and to help give the audience clues about the plot, characters or to identify the genre of the film.
In lesson we watched Taking of the Pelham 123 without sound and the actual movie opening seemed longer. It made me feel disinterested and less intrigued and it was weird as the things that were meant to have sound didn't for example the trains moving. However when we watched the film with the sound on and it was more tense and entertaining. I also learnt that there was dialogue and a soundtrack in the background which added to the mood.
