Sound

Shanice Curtis

Moving Image

Film • Surround sound in cinema• Feel there and intense• Different sound quality from a cinema to a laptop

Television• Less time in post production• TV use more sound during original filming• Characters are the main concern • Don’t have a big budget on television

Web• Not got as much sound as TV and Film• Links example YouTube or Vimeo• Some websites play music in background• Tumblr, Facebook – sound effects and music

Hand-Held Devices

• Games play with less sound• Playing music or a movie from a phone

not as loud• Device can only handle a small speaker as

small itself

Audio components

Interviews • Microphones, hand held mics and lapel mics• Shown for education or on the television viewers need

to hear• Interview is about the words so sound is really needed• Its about the words and voice to be heard clearly.

Music• Adding music to a film adds effect for example when someone is

about to die• Dramatic effect• Emotions effect• Set the mood• Builds tension e.g horror

Voiceover • Sometimes animators make the characters after the voiceover• Brings the character to life• A voice that is placed outside of the narrative world• Recorded in a studio

Sound Effects SFX • Makes it more realistic

• Gives an understanding of the feeling and the actors view

• Some foley artist used old broken glass in a bag and use them again to make glass sound

• Different types of sound effects that are used from tv shows to films:

Background, hard, foley and design sound effects

Studio & Location • The location is very essential for

sound• The studio is a controlled

environment

Use Of Presence• Presence is recorded during the production stage of filmmaking• A microphone placed in two different locations of the same room

will produce two different presences
