Sound Effect: The Story Of An Hour

Therefore, the foreshadowing in the story creates suspense for both the characters and the readers.

2e. In Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, John Williams creates the mood of foreshadowing in the scenes by having the music played leading up to a major event. For an example during the scene where the characters are chased by a troll monster, there is frightening music being played. We have not yet actually seen the monster, but rather can only hear his footsteps at this point. Having the music in the background however, foreshadows the eventual doom that the characters will face.

In the story “A Sound of Thunder” by Ray Bradbury, foreshadowing is used multiple times to hint at events to come in the future. The story follows Eckels, who paid to go on a safari to the past to kill the legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex. On many different occasions characters hinted at important events that would take place. These foreshadowing lines include Travis, the safari guide, repeatedly telling the hunters to stay on the path, the man behind the desk telling Eckels that disobeying rules would result in a large fine or government action when he returns, and the conversation about the results of the presidential election.

The open window in “A Story of an Hour” holds a lot of symbolism towards the emotions that Mrs. Mallard discovers within the story. The open window constitutes as her epiphany moment in the story where she discovers her true feelings and bases her actions off of the freedom she finds when she looks beyond the scenery through the window with new eyes. The open window in Mrs. Mallards home is what triggers her emotional state in which she breaks out of her restraints that her marriage has put her in.

One of the first instances of foreshadowing is the children of the village gathering rocks before the event began. “Bobby Martin had already stuffed his pockets full of stones, and the other boys soon followed his example, selecting the smoothest and roundest stones…” (Jackson 260) Collecting rocks did seem a bit ominous, but was quickly forgotten as the story continues. The beginning of the story ties into the end as the reader does not find out the reason for the rocks until the very end of the story when the rock are used for a murder weapon. “Although the villagers had

Foreshadowing is a vital ingredient to any suspenseful story. It hints at the idea that something is off-kilter, without ever revealing exactly what that something is. This leaves readers with an uneasy feeling about the plot, but they can’t quite figure out why. Because of that suspicious feeling, readers are left with a burning desire to find out what happens on the next page. Foreshadowing can be achieved many different ways, such as through eree names, unpleasant conversations, and odd occurrences.

The example, foreshadowing is when the writer gives the audience clues in the text or script about what

First, example is that Ichabod is afraid of riding alone at night. This is because he is afraid of the Headless Horseman, and everyone in the town knows he is. He sing to himself while he is riding to calm himself, Ichabod also believes in the supernatural which just makes matters worse for him. Sleepy Hollow is known for the famous haunting and being just out right creepy. This foreshadows that something is going to happen to Ichabod at night when he is alone riding a horse, but also foreshadows Ichabod meeting the Headless Horseman while he is alone

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.

This is important to the scene as it adds a new dimension and depth to the action being made without the sound being present. An example in this clip is when Coach Boone walks in to acknowledge the team, you do not hear his footsteps or the sound of his whistle around his neck hitting against the fabric of his shirt. The director has done this to put more emphasis on his actions, not the sound his presence is making for example, if there was an excess of sound effects for every minute sound made would distract the audience who would not be able to focus in on his paltry movement which have considerable meaning to the scene, an example of this would be the way Coach Boone walks up to the team, his whistle is swinging from side to side making no sound, you can see he is in an angry state with no sound intensifying this fact. The lack of sound effects is not used often in the whole film itself, therefore making an effect when the technique is indeed used.

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

This piece of evidence also uses imagery and mood to create this feeling of suspense and to in a way foreshadow what is to come.

While well-crafted sound design and sound effects are so very necessary in the creation of a film, music touches the emotion, the psyche, and the things you cannot see. Sound design and effects don’t do this nearly as efficiently and naturally. Without music it would be much more difficult to follow the emotional ups and downs of a film. (Freer)

Sound in a scene can communicate meaning and give life to a moving image. As I created the music for the scene I had certain intentions as a director and composer which required the construction of a multifaceted soundtrack to convey the narrative of the scene. The music is chosen and composed to elicit emotional response and ways in which it can convey the dramatic intentions of the film narrative. As music can convey the scope of a film, I used music in my scene to show it as an epic drama. I tried to use sound in my scene is such a way so as to not

Having the appropriate sound effects per action is gives the audience a feeling of comfort and assures the enjoyment of the picture. Animation with sounds provides us with not just a sequence of moving illustrations, but so much more, in fact, much more to where the storyline being portrayed within the animation gives us a meaningful experience and expands our imaginations. It also makes it easy for the viewers to watch and listen to the story
