SOUND

 Film makers started to use sound in films since 1927. 

Sound is meant to make what’s happening in the film more naturalistic and realistic.

 

 

SOUND BRIDGE

For example there can be a sound bridge in between scenes to make a better transition and make it more continues. 

 

 

PLEONASTIC SOUND

The technique to create this sound is called Foley sound. Pleonastic sound is a type of sound that is very exaggerated to create a better effect. For example in horror movies we can hear the tap dripping much more louder than it actually is to create an unsettling feeling on the audience.

 

PARALLEL SOUND

This is when the sound matches with what’s happening in the scene.

 

CONTRAPUNTAL SOUND 

Has a disorientation effect. This is when the sound doesn’t match with what’s happening in the scene. The sound is running against the image of the film.

 

SOUND IN TV AND FILM

We have two types of sound in this area. SYNCHRONOUS-sound of what is actually happening in the scene. ASYNCHRONOUS- this is for example a voice over that plays over a scene. The sound and the image don’t necessarily go hand in hand.

 

SILENCE- is just as important in scenes.

DIALOGUE- the tone and pitch of the actors voices contribute to what is going on in the scene.
