Research on Sound

There are two types of sound:

Diegetic Sound is sound which exists in the world of film. It is the sound used when the characters are talking and the noises made by objects and the wilder surroundings in the movie as well and sound effects which helps the audience keep in tact with their emotions

Non-diegetic Sound is what the characters inside the film can't hear. These are sounds which have been added to the film to create a reaction with the audience or give them information. This can be done by given access to a characters voice through a voice over or certain sound effects.

Sound can be enhanced so we can hear sounds at different levels will be balanced so that the most important sounds will be carefully balanced so it enhanced the telling of a story and mood of a scene.

We have also just learnt about Foley sound, which is sound that is not in real life, and is created at the editing process as it is put over the film to emphasise emotion. As well as this the ab-sense of sound in a film is very important as it makes the film more powerful.

CINEMATOGRAPHY and What I have learnt...

Image
Over the past couple of lessons we have been learning about cinematography which is camera work. I've learnt that different styles of filming have developed since the technology has increased and we are able to mirror the things we actually see onto the camera. I've also learnt that the camera man uses different types of shots because they have different impacts on the viewer (emotion) There is two key elements to cinematography: - Framing of a shot (what we can see on screen) e.g. close shots & longshot (landscape) - Movement of the camera e.g. tilting the camera and zooming. As well as this, i now know that filming can be hard as the cinematographer has to decide how to present a certain piece of action towards a viewer and look at things from the viewers perspective and show how it tells a story. I will use different movements of the camera in my film opening as i think it will make it more dramatic, especially as Grace and I have decided to switch to a romantic cri

Evaluation 1 - In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products?

 In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Above are 9 key frames from my film opening – Insiders. I will refer to them throughout my evaluation from frame 1-9, reading left to right. At the beginning of my opening, we made and edited a film ident as seen in frame 1. This ident relates to our film as the ‘clank / whoosh’ we used to suggest our film opening has an interesting story line and is different as it is not the normal jingle. The use of the pink font and the grey background suggests that our target audience is not just men but we are also targeting females. In the first 30 seconds of our film opening we set the scene with an establishing shot walking through Covent garden, which confirms the romantic comedy convention used in most films nowadays. We were inspired to add the title of the location and time onto the shot, to remind the audience that this film opening although romantic, is part of the

Mise En Scene

Image
Mise en Scene describes the filmic reality created by filmmakers and translates 'what is placed in the frame' and everything put in the frame has been put there to help the audience feel emotive or help them understand the situation in the movie. Mise en Scene can be used by the furniture we see in the room, the subtle or dramatic make-up they are wearing, or the costumes the actors / actresses wear. Everything we see in film is constructed and nothing appears by chance in the filmic frame. Setting helps us understand where and when a film is set, and we have to convey when its set through a range of locations which gives the audience a impression of a paticular period in history. The Duchess This is a film with Keira Knightley set in the 18th century, she was portrayed as a wealthy wife to the king, and you could tell this from the extravagant clothing she was wearing and the lavish jewlerly she was wearing.  You could also see in the film, the contrast between the di
