The three basic categories of sound are dialogue, sound effects and music. Dialogue is the conversations in the film that are the characters that further the development of the plot of the movie (Goodykoontz & Jacobs, 2014, pg. 202). Sound effects are used in the film to create realism while keeping the story interesting to maintain the viewers on the edge of his or her seats. Sound effects could also include diegetic or non-diegetic sound. Music is the sound used to help tell or enhanced the scene. It also makes the movie more exciting and upbeat.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a movie that has various categories of sound used to bring the characters to life in a fairy tale theme. A perfect example of non-diegetic sound

The first time we see Snow White; she immediately starts singing along with the white doves, this could signify the love and kindness. Shortly after this; she is forbidden to return. So she runs into the woods, were she meets the small animals, and she sings with them as well. The wicked queen tries numerous times to kill Snow White, and although she is in great danger, she still continues to sing music throughout the film to add joy. Somehow she still manages to find good in all people, animals, creatures and she does this by singing. The music used throughout the music shows that the theme of love and kindness is what wins in the end. Consequently, the evil queen’s jealousy and selfishness do not pay off in the …show more content…
Other parts of realistic may include her being surprised by the prince in the beginning and when she met the seven dwarfs. The exaggerated or unexpected sound effects would probably be Snow White’s whole attitude about singing and not act scared about the evil queen vengeance to stop at nothing until her death.
The film will be different if you remove the key component of music in the movie. The music in the film allows Snow White to utilize this sound to intensify the positive that allows this movie to be a fairy tale. If you remove music, there would be no happy ever after and perhaps everything would be dark and sound evil instead. Therefore, would not be a fairy tale or
Everyone knows that when the queen discovers that Snow White’s beauty is greater than hers, she asks the huntsman to kill her. Finally, we all know that the dwarves take care of her until her death, at which point the prince comes to the rescue and awakens her with a kiss. These are all elements of the story that we come to expect when we hear the name Snow White.
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
By offering a shot by shot analysis of a scene that uses diegetic sound the audience can understand why the director used these sound aspects to tell his story. This analysis does not just follow one scene but rather a series of scenes in order of what is relevant. First we are witness to the mother in her apartment washing clothes on the washing board and the camera then cuts to the clock, which is striking time and making an animated noise that brings the audience into this important element of the film. The story then cuts to Elsie being honked at on the street with horns that are overly dramatic in sound, yet another way for the director to use the sound technique. Another way the director uses sound in a dramatic way is when he presents Elsie bouncing her ball down the sidewalk and on the
smoking a cigarette on a playground bench, and at the same time silently on the climbing frame behind, birds begin to gather. As more birds are coming, the volume of the off screen diegetic sound increases, which indicates the character is more terrified and intensive. Without a music for the scene, the diegetic sound plays a significant role consequently by creating tension.
In the first Disney animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, many of the same stereotypes that are presented in the film Cinderella where first presented in this film as well. In the film, Snow White is taking refuge in the forest where she lives with seven dwarfs to hide from her stepmother who also happens to be the evil Queen. The queen is jealous of Snow White because Snow Whites fairness surpasses the Queens. Snow White ended up eating a poisoned apple which makes her fall in a curse and is later on saved by a
4. Diegetic sound: Diegetic sound is a sound that is visible or implied in the film, or in other words, it is any sounds that present in the film’s world. It can be the voice of the actors speaking to each other, sounds come from the object on the screen, or music that comes from a sound system or orchestra. Also, Diegetic sound is known as actual or literal sound. Besides, diegetic sound can be either on screen or off screen base on its source within the frame or outside the frame.
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.
There are three different types of sound within films – diegetic, non diegetic, and internal diegetic. Diegetic sound refers to everything the audience and the characters hear within the film – music, dialogue, and sound effects. Non diegetic sounds or sounds that would not naturally be heard within the scene, such as music that the characters do not hear only the audience. The third sound is internal diegetic, it would be like a single characters thought that only they and the audience can hear, no other character can, hence the word internal. These three types of sound help the director to influence the tone of the scene. The same sound collaborator, Craig Henighen, was used for both films. Director Akira Kurosawa said, “Cinematic sound
The music interacts with dialogue in the film; the techno beat is, at times, accompanied by vocals, which correspond with not only what is happening in the scene, but also the internal diegetic dialogue—another important motif.
Snow White was kind to the Wicked Queen. She did not wish any evil on her even after she sent her in the woods to die. Snow White only wished for the love of her step mother.
For example, in the nut sorting room, when Veruca’s shoes are clicking on the floor, which is a diegetic sound. This creates the effect that everything has suddenly gone very quiet and anticipation is growing. But, in Big Fish, Tim Burton uses sound to make people feel many different things. For example, in the town of Spectre, when the townspeople were dancing, the diegetic sounds were all of the happy dancing music. This creates the effect of happiness.
Snow White starts off with a lonely queen who sat sewing by her window one mid-winter night. She pricked her finger and seeing the blood so red made her wish for a child who has cheeks as red as blood, her
Not only does Burton use sounds to blur imagination and reality, he also uses camera angles to show these things. One example of this is when Ed Bloom in Big Fish finds his way to the small town that he eventually ends up purchasing later in the film. There is a scene where Ed walks in and the whole town is having a party and there is a high angle shot to show the whole town having fun and dancing and singing. In the same movie, another example is when there is a high angle shot of Ed leaving the town shortly after that party. He tells the towns people that he was not ready to be stuck anywhere just yet and that he would return when it was his time to stay. The high angle in this scene made it much more dramatic and sad
The old version of Snow White contains dark and violent stories and harsh elements that were not proper for kids. However, the Snow White that is familiar today is very friendly and well adapted for children. The original story of Snow White is written by the Grimm Brothers in the 19th century at German. In several of the Grimms’ stories, it contains various odd scenes and violent parts. According to the Disney version of Snow White the queen tells the huntsmen to bring the heart of Snow in order to check whether she is dead or not. However, in the Grimm version of Snow White, the queen, which is the witch, sells a corset to Snow and makes her try on the corset and squeeze her by tightening it. Also, in the original version, it is not the prince’s
Over the years, Snow White’s story has been told in numerous different versions then its original version in 1812 by the Grimm Brothers. The main basis of the story has remained the same. Only a few minor tweaks to the story have changed. The three versions of the story that are going to be analyzed are the original story “Little Snow White” by the Brothers Grimm, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” by Disney, and “Mirror, Mirror” by Disney also. They each were created in very different times and the original story has changed over the years to appeal to the audience of that time. No matter how many versions there are Snow White is considered, one of the most cherished fairy tales of all time. They each use different methods to get their
