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.

Average Short Film Budget

  Considering that the short film is obviously shorter than feature-length, the less locations take place, the less amount of actors involved, the production itself takes not so much time, so as a result the budget of these films will be way, way lower. Because my film is the Year 13 advanced portfolio, I am not going to have a budget and no one is going to be paid for production. However, while doing the filmmaking, we use the expensive equipment which is the digital camera, camera stand, microphone, sound recording. We're not paying for it for my film but that's what the team usually does when they make a professional movie. Of course with the rise of Internet everyone is able to create a unique project which doesn't have to cost money. Basically, everyone is able to film a short movie even on his or her phone. But I was talking about the film in which a large team is involved, something which is the work not only of one person (director/screenwriter) but also of everyone...

Evaluation of My Preliminary Task 2023

During this weekend I have filmed the short extract which will then be developed into a big short film which I'll release in the end. Though in my opinion, for preliminary task the job was done pretty well, I still think that there are some aspects to improve. The first thing to which I payed attention to is the wind noise which interferes the audiences to immerse into the film. It happened because though I was given a mic, I found it useless because my extract didn't have any dialogues so as I thought, there was no point in regulating the sound, I was mistaken. When I start making my main task, I'll definitely use the mic in order to prevent such situations. Another thing which needs an improvement is the moment in extract when the protagonist sees the group of boys walking and then smiles. The thing is that in my script they had to be just one girl with whom male protagonist falls in love. In addition there had to be the close ups so the audiences would know what's so...
