Sound for Film!

Sound used in a film:
- Music
- Sound effects
- Dialogue

When analysing sound consider:
- Uses of sound
- Qualities of sound
- Sources of sound (diagetic sound and non-diagetic sound)
- Timing of sound

Diagetic sound- see the item making the item eg. see book falling to the floor and hear the bang
Non-diagetic sound- sound unrelated to visuals eg. weird, creepy sound effects

Directors and film crew use sound, sound effects and dialogue in their films to enhance the tension during the show. It also helps to change the audience's mood and the mood of the film during the show. It helps to give emotion to the film.

  1. Good - you could also comment on the main reasons for using music, sound effects and dialogue - what purpose do they serve?
