sound what Ive learnt

What have I learnt about sound?

• To create the right type of genre music is extremely important.
• Use a lot of different sounds for different effects otherwise the effect wears off.
• Especially with horror/thriller make sure you focus on the tension scenes with piercing music.
• Make sure sound is throughout otherwise it feels not real.
• Even when you think sound is not needed it is important to always emphasize it throughout the film.

saw 1- sound

Saw 1 

• when twisted pictures comes up which is the production company by the sound of the blades going round the title this immediately grabs the audiences attention.
• Theirs then silence which creates a lot of mystery to what is about to happen.
•  when the title saw comes up theirs a silent piercing noise which creates tension.
• whilst the man gets out the bath the music is very weird yet quiet which causes a little confusion to whats going to happen.
• The piercing sound of the lights being turned on really grabs attention to the audience.
• The build up of loud piercing noises to the dead body really causes uneasiness and lets the audience know what type of genre the movie is.

Dark Knight- Sound

Dark Knight

• when the production company is being shown theirs thud of thunder which automatically creates tension and disruption to the audience.
•  Theirs then a ticking noise which makes the audience feels as if theirs something going on which has no little time which creates mystery.
• The suspense build up of noise then begins when you see the robbery which causes the audience to feel intrigued into whats just happened.
• The music is very fast also which makes the audience feel as if the people are in a rush and need to hurry.
• At around 1:42 the robbers are going over a zip wire and theirs another thud of lightning which creates suspension as its dangerous going over the town center on a zip wire.
• The emphasis of the noise of the gun which is played real loud when they are in the bank makes the audience more appealed and focused on the gun.

Friday Night- Sound

Friday Night

Right from the beginning of the film Friday night it simply starts even when the production company is being shown the sound is very mysterious with loud noises building up tension before the movie has even began. After that whilst in the clouds the pitch of the noise goes a lot louder and theirs piercing noises of thunder and lightning which is causing a lot of suspense to the opening of the film. By the build up of tension of the movie it automatically gives away what type of movie it is already. Once it goes into the opening scene the music then goes out but the tension is still there because of the build up.  Whilst the character is just sitting down watching the movie, the music is quiet but very mysterious and causes tension and then whilst the character walks to the other room the music becomes a lot more loud and strong and then there's a loud bang noise when the boy finds the body. This has been done so that the audience have built there tension up knowing something bad was about to happen.
