Sound Effect: Ragnar Lothbrok's Death

Later on in the day, after a field trip to the local planetarium, Jim meets a group of kids that are troublemakers and want to fight with him. As a conversation begins, music also begins in the background, yet quickly changes when the gang wants trouble. The music becomes fast, louder, and more suspenseful. The style of mickeymousing, "type of score [that] uses music as a literal equivalent to the image" (Giannetti, 231), was also used in this same scene. Jim and the character of Buzz are fighting each other with knives, and at every jab of the knife the music changes and becomes more dramatic and even more suspenseful. It is said that, "music can serve as a kind of overture to suggest the mood or spirit of the film as a whole" (Giannetti, 233). Later on, James Dean's character is asking his father for advice, and the music becomes quiet, slow and mysterious. Another scene where the score plays a vital role in the atmosphere is during an argument with Jim and his parents. Jim and his father are yelling, and when Jim grabs his father as if to hit him, the music turns scary and very intense.

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.

In order to make this moment in the production have a powerful impact on the audience Neil made use of the stage craft elements to highlight this event in the script. The use of sound in this scene is different from the rest of the production. From the very beginning of the show there has been an underscore either mimicking the sounds of the Australian bush or playing general music but for the first time in this scene there is silence while the narrator speaks. Then after the narrator says the word show there is the sound of a drum to signify the shot of a gun, then silence before the next name is said where the audience hears another shot. This almost dream like sequence takes place on a bare stage, which is then slowly littered with bodies as the scene progress, highlighting the impact that the massacre is having and leaving the audience with an image of the natural untouched landscape being subject to such devastation.

But, the sound effects just like everything else with the movie was amazing. The shooting of the guns were so loud it was hurting my ears, the sound of the dust storm at the end was making me think that was really what a dust storm sounded like. The fighting in the movie, the crying of his daughter after she was born, the sound of the drill really got to me when a man named “The Butcher” was threatening a family for speaking to the military he turns the drill on and all you hear is the drill, it was so distinct. It wasn't very loud but I felt all I could hear was that drill. As he plunges it into the kids brain and leg I swore the sound got deeper and quieter but still was the one thing I could hear over

Another aspect of sound in this film was how it affected the story. By using sound dramatically in certain parts and not using it at all in other parts, sound gave this story an entity of its own. For example, during long stretches of film with mostly dialogue, there was no music played in the background, only a phone ringing in the distance, or the men's voices during their deliberation. These long silences also took place during editing shots of the town and images that surrounded this German city. This dramatic difference in sound was a revelation of how mood can be made by images and sound put together to make an incredible component.

From calm sound effect, it then automatically change into the sounds like something is about to happen. When the cheetah starts to run after the gazelle, the African-like hunting music starts playing in the background. Then the man wearing a skechers shoes came in running to save the gazelle. The audi sales is the second one I chose.

One would have to say that one of the most notable features of the film would have to be its soundtrack, which incorporates no music but only diegetic sound, from the preliminary noise of the river flowing under the bridge through the even louder sounds of the forthcoming American tanks to the quaking clamors of the ending battle scenes. A prodigious example of sound transpires within the middle of the film. It is when the boys are woken from their cots and called into combat; the sequence features electronically distorted sounds that together equally insinuate the boys’ disorientation as well as the disorientation of the viewers.

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

I saw two ways that sound was used very effectively. One was when Ned was getting whipped, and another was the music at the end. In the scene where Ned was getting whipped, the camera turns away from Ned, and looks to the people in the streets who are watching. You continue to hear the sound of Ned getting whipped and him crying out in agony. Even though you can’t see Ned, we still know what is going on. This helps to build a bit of suspense because the audience does not know when it will stop or even if it will. Everytime the whip was cracked, I flinched a little bit. I could not see the pain Ned was going through, I still knew it was there because of the sound. This really makes the audience feel bad for Ned and wonder if he is going to be

Sound was an important technique in the making of this film. Sound techniques are used to convey the mood of a scene and manipulate the audience’s emotional reaction (Horton, 2013). One of the directors, Andrew Stanton, stated that to capture the sound of water sloshing inside a whale, the film crew journeyed around the

Sound is something quite special, impactful, and adds layers of elements and complexity to a film. As with the progression of the movie making medium, sound has grown and changed drastically over the decades. However, sound cues in the form of effects, dialogue, and everything in between, shapes our perceptions of a scene and movie.

The debate about genetic modification has been going on for a long time. On one hand, advocates for genetic modification believe that many diseases could be prevented and it would relieve many people from pain. On the other hand, many critics of genetic modification believe that it is unnatural or playing god. I am drawn to this issue because I believe genetic modification is going to be, if it isn’t already, ubiquitous in our future. In my lifetime, 20-30 years from now, I will have to deal with the benefits and the possible ramifications of genetic modification. This issue is going to affect me directly and therefore I have chosen this topic. Genetic modification is already on the horizon and there is little anyone can do to stop this.

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,

Trauma has caused hospitalized pediatric patients to become uneasy and anxious with no additional support. Thus, Child Life Services (CLS) is being proposed to Highland Hospital, as it does not currently offer any therapeutic consultations to pediatric patients and families to help ease traumatic feelings. CLS essentially provide a variety of different therapeutic programs to distract hospitalized children from pain, stress and being traumatized after medical procedures.

I listen to the audio of the movie “Beauty and The Beast.” Having the topic being about sound, this type of movie would be an example, for there are more technical obligations to take care of than those of realistic movies. The movie is about a prince who was curse and turns into a beast, in which a woman has to fall in love with him in order for the curse to be lifted. Throughout this movie, there were many sounds effects including fairy dust sound that represent magic. Additional sound effects include swooshes and roars represent the sound of the beast. Other sound effects would be the thunder and rain, in which represent the darkness. In the beginning scene, the movie introduces Belle, and the village she lived in that’s filled with the sound effect of rooster crowing and birds flapping their wings, in which represents peacefulness accompany by happy singing. From watching Foley video, it shows how the Foley artist used a bundle of plants rubbing against each other to create thunder sound. Another example from the movie includes using a pair of boots to make the sound horses jogging.
