Analysis Of The Film ' Backstage Musical '

Both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds are used to make The Shining have a much creepier tone. One non-diegetic sound is the music that is played at the beginning of the film. The music is high pitched and whistle like, but also dramatic. This makes the film chilling from the start and makes the audience aware that something is going to go wrong at the hotel. Another non-diegetic sound that occurred was when Danny was riding his tricycle through the halls and turned a corner to see the twin daughters standing at the end of the hall. When

Both diegetic and non-diegetic sound is used in this scene to help the audience create meaning and links between two events that run parallel to each other within the film but appear to have no direct connection (the riots and the falling dominos). Diegetic sound is “sound whose source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film” (filmsound.org, 2015). A good example of diegetic sound within this scene is when we see Chancellor Sutlers’ army draw their weapons and in parallel to this, we hear the over-exaggerated sound of V pulling his glove onto his hand. When these shots are viewed simultaneously, it is almost as if the diegetic sounds are mirroring each other, in the sense that they are very similar although coming from different objects. These closely related sounds could lead the audience to believe that both V and Sutlers army carry the same amount of power and authority.

Since the invention of sound in cinema, people have continued to be completely astounded by musical film. From the earliest synchronized sound films like The Jazz Singer to the fantastic musicals of today like La La Land and The Greatest Showman, musical films have the extraordinary ability to bring people joy in the darkest of times. The impact and influence musicals have had and continue to have on people will live on forever.

Throughout the history of the world, societies have always tried to imagine a utopian way of life and/or society. But in other cases, the use of raunchy apparel and countless bottles of alcohol are used to deny the idea of an uprising of a totalitaristic government. This is a brief summary of the two-hours and four minutes of the musical drama Cabaret, directed by Bob Fosse.

A book composed into a movie is a delicate task. There are many components and scenes that are considered before being embedded in a film. In The Outsiders, there was a devious amount of detail neglected in the film. On the other hand, the book portrays the feelings and character relationships. Scenes that had specific meaning were shattered, several portions of the film were exaggerated, and the central message of the entire movie was mislaid. These fundamentals simply obscured the main message and made the movie disorientated.

During scenes when Ms Trunchbull is about to catch someone doing something wicked or what she considers wicked, music full of suspense is used. This types of music creates tension amongst the audience leaving them full of questions and anticipation about what will happen next. Sometimes no music is used during scenes so the audience is able to clearly focus on what Ms Trunchbull may be saying, in these scenes sound effects are used instead. Loud, terrifying noises are used to make the audience uncomfortable or even frightened, an example of a sound effect used would be the sharpening of Ms Trunchbull’s knife. As well as being loud the sound effects and music used is also quite a low pitch/octave. This low pitch is used to clearly depict Ms Trunchbull as the evil character since Miss Honey usually has high pitch, upbeat music to show she is the benevolent one. As well as terrifying noises, disgusting sound effects are also used such as when Ms Trunchbull is eating chocolate from Miss Honey’s dad chocolate case. These noise make Ms Trunchbull’s action more dramatic and force the audience to see her as even more unflattering then as already is. Both diegetic and non-diegetic sounds were used during this film. An example of a diegetic sound would include the cracking of Ms Trunchbull’s whip since the characters in the scene

Sound in movies can help the audience interpret meaning by signaling mental cues to help us form interpretations about a scene. Sound in movies often finishes what our eyes expect to see or expect to happen next. Sound can also pull a scene together and help our mind make sense of what we are seeing. The source of a sound means the location from which a sound came from. Diegetic sound refers to sounds within the world of the movie. These sounds are heard by both the actors and the audience. Diegetic sounds give the audience awareness to spatial and temporal dimensions within a scene. Diegetic sounds are sources that are understood to exist within the space presented by the action of the film. An example of a diegetic sound would be a baby crying

Annie Hall, an American romantic comedy released in 1977 retells the story of a man named Alvy Singer (portrayed by Woody Allen) and his attempt at comprehending why his relationship with Annie Hall failed. Annie Hall incorporates many cinematic techniques into its story which help solidify its place regularly on lists of best comedies (Snider). It uses conflict, different types of narratives and a classic three act structure. The movie beautifully conveys a story in New York in which one really feels the characters are actual citizens and not actors (Barsam 166).

Sound also is used as a technique to evoke an emotional response from the audience. 
 Non-diegetic sound is only used in the film to highlight

The opening scene of the film is in the playroom, where one of the boys is shown playing a record player. The record consist of orchestra compositions and a woman giving historical information on each classical piece. This same record plays during the entire opening scene. It is a synchronous – diegetic – sound where the sound is visible or the audience understands where the sound is coming from. As it plays throughout the scene, the characters know where the orchestra composition is coming from, even if they are not in the playroom anymore. Synchronous sound consists of the movements the characters are in, for instance the boys playing ping-pong. The sound is present with the actions that are done. The diegetic sound, or the orchestra composition,

On March 18th, 2017, I went to see The Rocky Horror Show by Richard O’Brien. The musical was performed at the University of Colorado Boulder and was directed by Hadley Kamminga-Peck. The plot of the show was about a newly engaged couple, Brad and Janet, who are traveling through a rainstorm when their car gets a flat tire. They then walk to seek a telephone when they encounter a castle filled with pansexual Transylvanians. Brad and Janet are then put through an experience of sexual exploration and self discovery by interacting with the Transylvanians.

Sound is what you hear while watching either it is diegetic or non-diegetic. Diegetic, is defined as a sound which can be paired with what is happening in a film or on TV, and is either visible, or is relevant to the action. However, non-diegetic is the sound that cannot be seen on screen, nor has any direct relevance. Sounds include speech, music and noise

The sound used in the film is comprised of a mixture of diegetic and nondiegetic music. The music was also composed entirely of instrumental sounds.The sound is dependent on the time of the footage of the film because it then defines what sound is diegetic or not. This allows for the tone of the film to be changed. The fluctuation of the tone of the sounds depicted somber sounds to show the realism of Timothy’s death, and joyful and uplifting sounds when at times when Timothy is alive and shown in the film. In turn, this changes the meaning of the film by influencing the audience to feel a certain type of way. By the use of a combination of the long take footage of shown in the film, and sound, we can further see a change of the meaning of the film. For example, when Timothy was informing us on the bears, and all while taking a long shot of the film, we can see

Experimental or avant-garde films are those made by individuals and are not intended for public viewing. These filmmakers approach making their films as an art form, with no expectation to make a profit. Experimental films are often made in the artisanal mode of production, which they are shown in small screenings to small groups. One common focus in experimental films is the passage of time, which is often extremely noticeable compared to Hollywood films.
