Sound In The Clapet

Sound is a very important part of a movie as it can set the mood in the situation; Tim Burton used diegetic sounds perfectly in Charlie in the Chocolate Factory to set that dark eerie mood. At the beginning of the movie where you see all the machines that are used to make chocolate, a the machines are working it is playing a low pitched song while the viewer hears the machines press down on the chocolate to mold the chocolate. The sounds the machines make combined with the music makes the scene’s mood a lot less more cheery like yeah chocolate but also gave an mysterious feel about it. Another example is when the group is greeted by wax puppets singing an upbeat song,

Hitchcock made sure to limit the sounds to ones that could only be heard from Jeff's point of view, since the majority of the film was through his eyes. Conversations being held throughout the apartments can vaguely be heard as if the audience is inside Jeff's apartment with him. For example when Mr and Mrs. Thorwald engage in a verbal battle, the audience is only able to hear muffled words, but the tone of those words can clearly be identified. Hitchcock did not add irrelevant noises that were outside of the apartment complex to create the sense that the characters were stuck in

It is usually pre-recorded and placed over the top of a film or video and commonly used in documentaries or news reports to explain information. Focusing on selected sounds can create tension, atmosphere, and emotion. It can also impart personality to film characters. Walter Murch (the doyen of sound designers) once described the character sounds (in a film he directed) as "coronas" which can magnify each character' s screen space. A figure who is associated with a particular sound (often suggested by his or her clothing), has "a real presence that is pervasive even when the scene is about something else or the character is off-screen."

Noise is possibly one of the most important parts of sound in this film. There are so many different motifs, the most prevalent being the clicking sound. The film opens with the credits and the ticking of clocks. The ticking of the clocks is both diegetic and nondiegetic; At times when the clocks are shown onscreen, it is obvious that those sounds are heard by the characters whereas often the ticking is used as not only a reminder of time, but also to keep

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

I believe that my group effectively made use of sound and props in order to interpret the train scene between Kipps and Samuel Daily. We used sound creatively when performing the scene of which Kipps and Daily had just met. For example in my group when myself (playing Daily) had just sat down next to Kipps we used sound to indicate that it was a fairly awkward encounter to begin with. We did this when Christian (playing Kipps) increased the pace of his voice whilst speaking to Daily on the train whilst slightly stuttering his words. The impact of this was to show that meeting a total stranger is always a bit strange and it may cause a conversation to become awkward and the participants of the conversation to feel nervous.

As the film begins to play, the sound of wind chimes fill the room as the audience gazes upon the beautiful and untouched hills. Taking it one step further, the ensemble begins to play fast piano chords and xylophones, while Stevens was on percussion and shaking the tambourine. The music was in sync with the opening credits, coordinating with the slow-motion bodies and white lines covering the screen.

The sound effects used on this scene is quite attractive. In this scene, there was not

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

While watching Fritz Lang’s M, besides the importance of the movie’s subtext and theme, one notable aspect is the use and subsequence importance of sound. From the beginning until the end of the movie we could see that sound is not just there as the latest trend in technology during that time, but used to illustrate each character. In Kaes’ essay, he writes that “M’s sound collages often express the unconscious of a character or the unspoken implications scene.” Lang did not show the characteristic of a certain character by showing his or her backstory, but with sounds : “sound alone demoted the criminal”. Kaes states that many feature films were utilizing sound for the musical number or comedy; Lang, on the other hand did something completely

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.

Sound Created drama for this picture. For example the grunting and moaning from the beast caused tension towards the audience. Due to him not actually saying words the sounds that come out of his mouth determine what he’s going to do next. Also it represents how he feels. For example when the fire was placed in his attention he moaned and acted in fright, for he was afraid and then made a scene when he took charge and chocked a

It is from this use of non-diegetic sound which intentionally enhances the suspense of the scene and is used to draw contrasts between the functions of

It is within this framework that I consider important to study the way in which sound is
