  1. FILM INTRODUCTION TO FILM

  2. SOUND

  3. Diegetic Sound • Diegetic sound is any sound presented as coming from something within the world of the film. • For example: • voices of characters  • sounds made by objects in the story  • music represented as coming from a band or instrument in the film. • Diegetic sound can be either on screen or off screen depending on what the source is. • http://www.criticalcommons.org/Members/ccphanson/clips/the-cantina-scene-from-star-wars-episode-iv-a-new

  4. Non-Diegetic Sound • Sound whose source is neither visible on the screen nor exists anywhere in the action: • narrator's commentary • sound effects which is added for dramatic effect • mood music • Non-diegeticsound is represented as coming from the a source outside of the story world.

  5. Creating Mood – Background Music • Background music guides audience response to a film. It can even change a viewer’s interpretation of the film. • The heroine may be smiling broadly while she faces her archenemy, but is she really so confident? The music may tell us that she is actually afraid.

  6. Music for time, place and mood • Certain instruments remind us of particular things. • Landscape scenes tend to work best with lighter sounds such as a trilling flute • Chaotic scenes such as a thunderstorm require a full orchestra to provide the sound effects • The harp and harpsichord are old-world instruments that can be used to create a sense of a bygone era, whereas an electric guitar would imply a modern theme

  7. The tempo (speed) and pitch (whether it sounds high or low) of the music helps set the mood of a scene • The faster the tempo the greater is the sense of urgency conveyed • A man hurrying to rescue someone will normally be accompanied by accelerated (fast) music. • If his mood is panic stricken, then the pitch will be high, and shrieking violins will be used • If there is a hint he will not make it, a deep undercurrent of lower pitched cellos might be used instead
