Lesson notes 29th September

Sound and music 

Sound within a media text should:
Reinforce the mood/atmosphere of the scene.
Enhance the audiences emotional experience.
Suggest a characters thoughts and feelings.
Build a sense of continuity.(e.g sound bridges help moving in and out of scenes) 

Key terms learnt:

DIEGETIC SOUNDS- Sounds within the scene, for example a radio playing in the background. the source doesn't have to be shown in order for it to be diegetic.
NON-DIEGETIC SOUNDS- Sounds that are outside the world of the scene, an example of this would be a them tune, voice over or noises outside.
PARALLEL- When the mood of the audio track follows the mood of the image track.
CONTRAPUNTAL- When the audio track contradicts the image track.
SOUND BRIDGES-Sounds that take us from one scene to another

  1. You need to define and explain each of the key terms here. Perhaps you could upload an example of the techniques from television or film texts? This would allow you to describe the effects of each type of sound.
