Sound in film

 Today we had a workshop about sound in film. Firstly we recapped what diegetic and non-diegetic sounds were (diegetic sounds are in the films wold, and non diegetic are ones only the audience can hear). We then learned about the different layers of sound. They are:

- Ambient sound

- Music (diegetic and non-diegetic)

- Foley sound (sound effects)

- Voice over (can be diegetic or non-diegetic)

These are all the things that make up the sound in a film and set the scene and help know the location. 

There is also something called 'Leitmotif', which is when the soundtrack is based around a certain character which is being shown, for example Luke Skywalker, and Darth Vader's soundtracks. The soundtracks reflect the recurring theme which is based around the character.

We were then given a task to create our own soundtrack for the sequence that we made. It should reflect the mood of the sequence.

I used garage band to make mine, this is a screenshot of the process of it. 


Here is the sequence with the soundtrack:
