Sound Project Blog Post

 

  • Why is sound or the lack of sound so important to a scene in a film?  What kind of messages can it send an audience?-  Sound or the lack of sound in a film can add more context and mood than dialogue. It is important to use the correct type of music for a scene to determine tone. For example, a scene might have happy smiling people but if there is sad music the audience might interpret the scene as bittersweet rather than happy like it was intended to. Just like how music is important, the lack of music is just as impactful. A scene where a character has lost their hearing would need silence to show their hearing loss, it wouldn't make sense to add music in a scene like that


  • Explain why it was or was not difficult to come up with sound ideas for a story that would not have visuals for the audience to see.- It was easier to come up with a story using only sound. Using only sound had less technical and difficult elements than a video film would have. Making foley sound effects and finding some online was much easier than acting in a film.


  • Explain whether you believe or do not believe that your group was able to create a sound story that the audience could understand by just listening to the chosen sounds.  What was the story you created and how did the sounds bring the story to life?- My group's story was a busy restaurant from the point of view of a waiter. My group made an effective sound story that had all the components a restaurant has.

Movie Analysis Post

The movie I chose to watch and analyze is the 2015 movie produced by Brad Peyton called San Andreas. It is an action natural disaster movie. There are several uses of aerial shots, wide shots, and two shots. The first scene of the movie shows a close-up shot of a young woman driving in a car on a road on the side of a mountain. The back-and-forth camera angles between the young woman and the car driving down the road add tension to the situation. Then a POV shot of the inside of the car shows the car and the young woman falling down the side of the mountain. The shaky camera movement combined with the POV shot adds an ample amount of intensity and action to the scene as well as it adds anxiety to the young woman's situation. Toward the middle of the movie, there is a scene using a Two-shot camera angle, showing the two main characters, Ray and Emma in a helicopter.
