Use of Sound


Sound is important in film because it engages the audience: it helps with conveying information, adds value to the certain moment of the movie, evokes emotional response, emphasizes what's happening on screen and indicates the mood. When it's used properly, it can play not the last role. Although sound is often considered as after-throught for post-production, the bad sound can ruin the film because even though the rest is done well, the bad sound will not allow audience to dive into the film and plot.

There are two types of sound. One of them is called diegetic sound which originates from within the film. It's any type of sound which is happened in the plot and characters can hear it. It can be everything which is considered part of the film's world, for example dialogues, action, phone call, music which characters listen to etc. 

The opposite to diegetic sound is non diegetic. This type of sound is everything which is not linked to the world and character can't hear it. The non diegetic sound can be soundtrack, narrator, film score etc. For my shirt film the non-diegetic sound can be the music from The Beach Boys album ''Pets Sound'' which is my biggest inspiration.

Critical Question 2

How does my product engage with my audience? Well firstly it’s important to find out what my audience is. They are people who are very likely to enjoy the thriller genre films and their age somewhere between the teen age and early 30’s, possibly middle class people because they can understand the pain which main character feels. The main character is fully in debt and the stranger who he meets in a café gives him an offer to murder someone so he’ll be paid enough money to return the debt. Many people who will watch this will ask very deep questions like ‘’What would I do on his place if I had debts too?’’. And also there are thriller fans of the same age as above described people. These are the category which use the film watching to feel the tension, the people found out the Fincher-style thrillers which give the cliffhangers and the viewers wonder what will happen next. These people don’t watch these films because they reflect their personal life problems but are made in the genre th...

Cinemascope

  Cinemascope is an anamorphic process that compresses an image during filming and uncompresses it when projected. The process involves squeezing a wide image onto 35mm film so that it fits the physical celluloid's square frame. With the help of anamorphic projection lenses, this image is then unsqueezed, allowing for the full width of the image to be displayed. In the early days of cinema, French inventor Henri Chretien created and patented an anamorphic lens that could be used for motion pictures. However, back in the 1920's and 1930's, no one was really interested. That all changed in early 1950's, when motive studios were losing their audience to the rise of television. It was convenient, could be enjoyed at home and provided the same entertainment value as movies. However, in 1952, ''This Is Cinerama'', which displayed a widescreen image with three cameras and three projectors was becoming a smash hit across the country, albeit in limited theatres. ...
