  2. Sound FILM 1010 – Week 3.2

  3. Biases • Motion PICTURES • Moving IMAGES • Movies • VIEWERS WATCH movies • SPECTators But sound exists in interaction with the images.

  4. The Diegesis • Diegetic = the (fictional) world of the film • Character speech • Sound effects (car horns, footsteps) • Music (car radio, band in the background) • Non-digetic = outside the film world. Question: How can you tell? Answer: Can the characters hear it.

  5. Annie Hall (Allen, 1977)

  6. The Soundtrack  Not this! • Voice • Music • Sound Effects

  7. Voice • 1. Dialogue • Prime driver of narrative action • Speaker generally gets the close-up • Often continues into reaction shot A film can do without most sound effects and music; It cannot do without voices.

  8. Voice-off • Voice-off • When we hear a character speaking when s/he is not onscreen. • Voice-off aids our spatial grounding. • Key: It is diegetic (characters can hear it) • Example: Erin Brockovich; M

  9. Voice-over • Voice-over • Offscreen character narrates the film • Non-diegetic (characters do not here it) • Documentary – “the voice of God” (ex: Century of the Self) • Character commentary (ex: Bridget Jones’ Diary)

  10. Music • Music is primarily non-diegetic • Thus, un-realistic (but we accept it) • Example: Blazing Saddles • Cues audiences to interpret/react in particular ways • Example: Mystery Film (?); Notting Hill • Music frequently shifts between diegetic and nondiegetic. • Shifts up and down depending upon dialogue

  11. Music, cont’d • The Stinger – abrupt music that highlights a particular moment • Example: The Ring • Mickey-Mousing – music designed to mimic natural sounds • Example: Wipeout • Periodization – music from a particular time period informs audience of film’s historical era. • Example: American Grafitti

  12. Sound Effects • Sound gives “depth” to the two-dimensional image. • Theaters allow for directional sound • Creates the feeling of real space • Sound gives us information (police sirens) • May sound realistic, but often recorded after shooting (“foley artists”)

  13. Sound Bridge • Transition in which a sound from one scene carries over into the next scene. • Sound equivalent of the dissolve. • Example: Groundhog Day

  14. Sound Disjunction • When sound and image do not “link up” • Disrupts illusion of a unified world • Examples: Paranoid Park; Natural Born Killers; Four Eyed Monsters; Kissing on the Mouth; All the Real Girls
