Sound in Films

L/O: to explore the use of sound in film

Music

1. Music in a horror film would be low pitched and slow
2. Music in an action film would be fast
3. Music in a thriller would be fast and jumpy
4. Music in a comedy would sound joyful
5. Music in a science-fiction film would sound epic

Diegetic V Non-Diegetic

Almost all of the sounds in this scene are diegetic
The action
Weapons
The music
Dialogue
Characters

Foley

All of the sounds in "The Present" would have been recorded for the animation

Choose a scene

The music in the scene is "Come a little bit closer"
The music makes the scene have a happier tone than it actually does while Yondu, Rocket and Baby Groot murder most of the crew.
The music doesn't change but gets quieter when characters speak
The music doesn't change
You can kind of tell what is happening based on dialogue and sound effects
No moments of silence
The characters speak, they sound like their actors 
I don't know about my own voiceover
Some sounds like gunshots and Yondu's whistling seem louder than real life. This is probably so they can illustrate the noise of the scene better.

  1. Good - although lacking your usual detail.
    For your chosen scene (diegetic V non) the music is definitely NON diegetic - if you were the characters in the scene, you wouldn't hear the music.
