L/O: to understand how any why sound is used in film.
- All sound used is known as the soundtrack.
Diegetic and Non-Diegetic
- Diegetic- sounds that the character would expect to hear. (e.g when walking, footsteps)
- Non-diegetic- sounds that the character wouldn't be expected to hear (e.g. narrations, music, voiceover)
Task 1
- Breathing, people outside, footsteps, the fire, the birds, the key turning, fairies talking to her, eating, scary man shouting, wind from birds wings, plate on table, gasp, screaming, dialogue.
Dialogue
- Can be recorded on location
- Or recorded after filming.
- Most dialogue is recorded separately and added on afterwards, this is called Audio Dialogue Replacement (ADR).
Foley
- Foley is the reproduction of everyday sounds for use in filmmaking.
Task 2
- Bench swinging, creaking roof, clicking button, crashing, touching levers, leaves, crying, sniffing, boy falling, chair, rock dropping.
Task 3
- Glass shattering, ground breaking, things falling, laser gun, disintegrating floor.
Music in Film
- Part of the Mise-en-Scene
- Used to create a certain atmosphere
- Can establish a time or place
- Used for tension, atmosphere, time or setting.
- Silence or lack of sound can also be used for effect.

Sherlock Holmes fight scene
- Silence from everyone when he wins
- Music back to normal at the very end to set the scene again
At the start...
- There is traditional fast paced folk music which is non-diegetic at the start of the scene so you can tell what time period the scene was set in. The crowd is cheering very loudly which shows this fight is a bit rowdy. At the end of this section, the opponent spits on the back of his head, this sound is increased in volume because it is important and makes it clearer as to what he did.
In his head...
- In this section, there is internal dialogue as he is thinking about what moves he is going to do. His talking is clear and fairly fast pace even though they have slowed the movement down. When he is thinking about his shots, moves, etc, the sounds of the punches, shots, blocks, crushing of bones, and kicks are exaggerated and made louder. When he hits the man on the ears, you can hear the ringing that the opponent is going through. Throughout this bit, the sound of the crowd is also reduced so it is focussed on him and his actions.
At the end...
- At the end of the scene, he pulls off the moves exactly as he thought he was going to and the sounds of all his punches, etc are exaggerated. Once he wins the fight, the crowd stop cheering as they didn't expect him to win. As he is walking around, the crowd stay silent and all you can hear is footsteps. At the very end, the music goes back to the folk music to set the scene again.
