Richard King Accomplishments

Even though the film is essentially a visual experience, the use of sound has become extremely important in modern film. The modern viewer hears a complicated soundtrack that is as meaningful as the image on the screen. Three elements comprise the film's soundtrack: the dialogue, the sound effects, and the musical score. The proper balance and mix of these elements produced the essential emphasis required, which created the desired effects. As explained by Joseph Boggs and Dennis Petrie,

Growing up Martin Luther King. Jr had a happy middle class life, but even with all of this he still noticed social problems. His father was a respected preacher, his mother was a college-educated musician, and his grandmother, who lived with them, was extremely fond of him. He was also close to his older sister and younger brother, who started college at fifteen.

As well as lighting, sound was used very effectively to stage the story. For example “echoes” were created in the alleyways, to make us think that Eddie’s house was a long way away. These echoes were also used to symbolise Eddie’s loneliness. This could show that there is emptiness in Eddie’s heart that can only be filled by a close friend or a brother. There was a bold use of sound especially in scary, dramatic or important scenes. This added to the drama of the overall performance, it made the audience feel a variety of emotions. In the scene when Mrs. Lyons tries to murder Mrs. Johnston, the sound affects really emphasised how Mrs. Lyons was feeling and her sheer madness. The use of surround sound made me feel like I was in the scene and it made the whole performance much more realistic.

The cinematic language that we know of today would not be as it is today if we had synchronous sound recording from the beginning of film. Cinematic Language is the systems, methods or conventions by which movies communicate with the viewer. A few examples of cinematic language are; montage; mise en scene, the use of long takes, depth of field shooting in order associate people or objects; Expressionism, the use of lighting techniques, severe camera angles, and elaborate props, to name a few aspects; and realism, a technique to make the action seem as true to life as possible. The list of techniques and styles of cinematic language go on, and can only be limited by the imagination. Early films, and early sound films both had something in common; they lacked many elements of the cinematic language. The reason sound films reverted back to the same pre-cinematic style of early films, was due to the fact that they had technical difficulties, that required them to fall into the style of the old ways. I do believe that if filmmakers would have had sound from the beginning, with the same sense of movie direction they worked with, they would have used sound as a crutch rather than an enhancing element.

Sound editors create the entire sound plan for a movie. Foley artists, the crews who do fun stuff like slap lettuce and crush ice to simulate fight noises, take direction from him. And the sound mixers, or "re-recorders," take his final plan and mix it into the film. His job is critical. "Just try to imagine any of your favorite movies without

I find Thomas King very interesting for two reasons: his early life and his novels. Looking at his early life, I could not imagine King becoming one of the finest writers in North America. There was no indication that King was interested in literature as he worked as craps dealer and bank teller instead of something related to art after failing first year of university. Failing university is not as terrifying as I thought it would be because of King’s achievement. Furthermore, before reading King’s biography, I thought he was aboriginal since he tells the stories of native people flawlessly. However, after looking at his biography, King’s ability to precisely describe the lives of aboriginal surprises me. I think that King non aboriginal status

Another example of sound is Hitchcock's use of voice over. For instance, as Marion drives away with the money she ha stolen, she imagines conversations between the people she has left behind and their reactions to her faults. Hitchcock also uses sound, which doesn’t complement the image that we see. Whilst the on screen

Along with background music, sound effects play more of a role on the way we feel than many moviegoers think, and "although the function of sound effects is primarily atmospheric, they can also be precise sources of meaning in film" (Giannetti, 225). When the

“The most exciting moment is the moment when I add the sound… At this moment, I tremble.” (Akira Kurosawa) Sound is arguably the most important concept in cinema studies, being there ever since the beginnings. It can radically change the way a motion picture is looked at and it can render what the director may sometimes find hard to depict using only his camera. Looking upon silent cinema one discovers an era which wasn’t at all silent, but rich in sound of different forms, from the simple narration of the images shown on screen, accompanied by a piano, to the complex score later composed specifically for that film. An example of that complex score is shown in Sunrise, a film by F.W. Murnau, which lies at the border between silent cinema and sound cinema. Considered to be one of the first films with an actual score, Sunrise is a great example of the multitude of dimensions and effects sound can have.

Tools such as synchronous sound recorders and lightweight 16mm cameras allowed filmmakers to convey more complex narratives. Over time, such recording and editing capabilities continued to evolve. As a result, distinct styles and methods emerged that would not have been otherwise feasible. Broadening the toolset available to filmmakers, the ever-evolving technology afforded documentarians the ability to better capture their ‘reality’.

He started his career by working at Catskills. His first big hit movie, The Producers, won an Academy Award for Best Screenplay in 1968. In The Producers, Mel Brooks was the writer and director, and he did some voiceover work. Only a few years earlier in 1964, his animated film, The Critic, won an Academy Award for Short Subjects. In The Critic, he was the creator and narrator. Of course he has made over a dozen theatrical films, radio characters, and plays, but The Producers and The Critic are the two most famous award winning pieces created by Mel

Sound is a very important aspect to a movie. Previously, we were to watch historical films for our film class. These movies were somewhat difficult to watch because they had no sound. In relation, sound is another elemental system that is organized into a series of dialogue, music, ambience, and effects tracks. Various sounds were heard throughout this movie.

Two components that have an immense impact on the quality and caliber of a film are the editing and sound found within the film. These two aspects alone can make or break a film. In the film The Kings of Summer, directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, these two elements collaborate to highlight certain emotions and key moments in the film’s plot. Some of the sub-elements of these two components that can easily be identified within the film include the flashforward, the flashback, both nondiegetic and diegetic sound, semi diegetic sound, graphic matching and voice offs. Within the film The Kings Of Summer, editing and sound are methodically and tactfully utilized in order to produce a film that is both entertaining and meaningful for the audience.

King Leaves: After staying in London Tower King Richard rides horseback to “The King’s Great Hall” located in his palace at Westminster. He along with his horse are dressed in lavish fashion, he is joined by various noblemen, knights, and servants as he rides through the London streets to his palace. He rides bareheaded along with a canopy made of gold cloth above his head which is carried by four knights changing at various times and places.

This time we will focus on the analysis of the sound of a film that, in addition, to be well achieved according to my personal appreciation, has been nominated for several awards for sound and has won some of them. It is then a proposal that, when like others, it is convenient to analyze and understand, to take from it what works best for us or interest, or for our future productions. For this I have chosen the feature film Pan’s labyrinth (2006) by director Guillermo del Toro; in charge of the sound Martin
