Sound Analysis Task


The Impossible (2012)





Firstly, all the sound is diegetic sound. So, diegetic sound comes from the world of the film we are watching. This could include dialogue by characters in the scene or music or other sound that comes from a source we would naturally expect that sound to come from, example: a radio or a TV. 
At first the sound being made was the sound by the sea which was just located behind the trees and the accommodation was located in front of the trees. Slowly the sound of the sea started to get louder and the producer did this slowly every second because it created suspense for the audience  and therefore make the opening scene more intriguing by just sound and no dialogue yet.t. Once the noise went very loud that indicated that the wave was coming towards them and the people started panicking and the wave was to strong that it just wiped everything away in its path and the sound produced was the impact of when the water was hitting and smashing away everything in its way. Finally, you could hear the sounds of people screaming in the water calling out for help and people looking for their families. Most of the sounds being produced was parallel sound. Parallel sound is music we would normally expect to hear accompanying a scene, example: soft romantic music might be played over a love scene. The whole scene is very intriguing because of the choice of sound in the background. On top of this the use of having it all diegetic makes it seem very natural and provides a sense of realism.

Lighting Still Image Analysis

Image
Within this picture, you can see a clear use of backlighting and filler lighting to create a low key lighting effect as all the left is coming from the left side to shine on the right side of her face. the use of showing only half her face creates a mysterious effect. The use of the light coming from the back makes the cigarette smoke around her look very strong and therefore entices the audience as to why she is by herself in a relatively dark room smoking a cigarette. Once again this still image has used low key lighting as the only clear light we can see being used is a top lighting this creates another ominous and mysterious effect. The use of top lighting means the only areas we can see the lady is her face. The use of only showing her face makes us the viewer question as to why the director has created the effect of us only being able to look at her face and no other parts of the body. The lighting in this shot is high key lighting as his body fro

Video Feedback And Learner Response

Teacher Feedback - Great Choice of music - but I agree with your own reflection that you have ended up with two parallel montages rather than anything contrapuntal. Good Selection of clips for both parallel montages - clear effect on the audience which is great. Be careful with shots of a character speaking with different media - unless this is deliberate. What clips could have been genuinely contrapuntal to this music? Student Feedback - WWW: The Contrapuntal sound is immediately recognisable.              Parallel also immediately recognisable I think you did it perfectly. EBI: No EBI except for your abrupt ending WWW: There was a clear difference between contrapuntal and parallel. EBI: The contrapuntal part seemed quite parallel so more could have been another choice of music. WWW: Range of videos for the parallel part. EBI: I was a bit confused at first because it wasn't that clear if it was contrapuntal or parallel because the music used matched some bits
