sound workshop

In our lesson we did a sound workshop , we focused on how sound affects our film and how sound can contribute to making and creating a feeling through a film.
.sound can be used to enhance the action in screen (example: in action movies when there is a gun shot or car crashing sound effects are used to emphisaise what is going on)
.sound helps add realism or can add emotional resisdence.
.the audience can never tolerate unclear sound compared to being able to tolerate unclear video, which shows how much sound plays a role in a film.
.once you are able to control sound, you are able to do more with it , you can use it as a stylistic device.
we watched a few clips or trailer of films , we firstly watched them without beign able to see the video , and just being able to hear the sound. this showed me how when you can just hear something it allows your mind to imagine and explore what is going on , each person will picture or visulaise different things when they hear a sepcific sound. the sound allows you to create the modd and understand the feeling of the film , this contrubuted with the video and cinematography, completes the film and allows the audience to imagine the film in their own way . a film is not complete with sound alone or video alone but rather with playing alongside each other.
in our film we plan to use a bit of dialogue but want to limit it as much as we can , we have a few scenes which include some action and so may use sound effects to add a certain mood or look to our film. We also plan to make use of a voiceover , when doing this we need to consider the type of voice we use which will keep audience attracted to film , also maybe including some background music to create a mood.
