Clips for Sounds

diegetic sound - this is when the sound comes from a person or object in the diegesis (the world of the story) and seen within the field of vision
in this clip of a tv series geordie shore, there is music playing in their house, this music is diegetic because the audience can hear it but also the people in the series can hear it aswell. this effect is used to make it seem more realistic.
non diegetic sound - this is when sound that comes from nothing within the field of vision ad has been added afterwards in the editing process. the clearest examples are of soundtrack music or a voiceover.
this is a clip of some baloons being popped. non diegetic sounds are coming when the balloons are being popped to make the audience believe they have a different sound each time they pop. however the actor or the balloon popper in this case, cant hear these sounds.

synchronous sound - where the sound is synchronised with the object emitting that sound - as in lip sync- where the actors mouth moves exactly in time with the words we hear.

in parts of this clip we are shown the actor cook, he is directly speaking to somebody and his lips are in sync with what he is saying, this is a simple affect and adds realism.

asynchronous sound - this is where the sound track is deliberately out of sync with what we see. it is a rare effect in TV drama. a good example at the end of the graduate is where we have a montage of faces and voices in the church, all shouting ben but the voices do not synchronise with the faces we see.
in this is the final scene in the film 'The Graduate' in this clip when Ben escaoes from the wedding you can hear Ben being shouted by not with in sync lips.

sound effects - sounds added to the visuals in editing. they may be naturalistic - the sound of traffic outside the window added to a shot film in a stuido - or unnaturalistic, perhaps for comic purpose (eg a boing sound) or to remind us we are watching construct (whooping sound that accompanies crash sounds.
 
this fight scene in sherlock holmes is a perfect example of the use of sound effects. they are used throughout the whole fight scene

sound motif - a sound associated with a character or place. this could be the humming of machinery associated with a factory or the threatening character might have a particular musical figure that plays when they appear or sort out a problem. James bond films have four related motifs in the theme tune, each indicating a narrative turning point eg, the part of the resolution of a chase sequence.
this clip has been tube chopped, it is in casio royale with daniel craig(james bond) fighting. the classic james bond song appears in the background.

sound bridge - this is where the sound (diegetic or non) continues across or or more cuts/transitions. examples include music running over clips of a montage.


this is a clear use of a sound bridge as the opening music is played over each montage

dialogue - the sound made by characters talking to each other. sometimes this is re recorded in a studio with the actors attempting to lip sync to the footage: This is called Foley recording.

this is a scene in adulthood where dialogue is shown clearly

voiceover - where a voice from outside the diegesis gives the audience information. often this voice tells us the story may be a character within the story.
about a boy is a great film with examples of voiceovers, however i couldnt find the opening scene on youtube that i could embed, in this clip there are alot of clips of voiceovers where will is thinking in his head.

Shots And Angles

this is a famous medium close shot from the film taken, in this scene the character is on the phone to the kidnapper of his daughter and he says 'i will find you, and i will kill you' the shot of this scene is extremely effective because it shows the reality of the situation on his face, and his expression also shows how serious he actually is.



this is a close up shot from the film Avengers, this shot is effecftive because in the characters facial expression it shows his seriousness and concentration very well which is good for the audience to visualise.



in this short scene is another close up shot, a ginger shooter is shown close up aiming his gun towards his target, it is effective by showing his face fully because it clearly shows he is an evil character which is done effectively by looking at his facial expression, this clip isn't long but you can tell more clearly in the actual film.



this is a funny mid shot scene from the film Ali G, this scene he is singing to a woman, it is affective from being a mid shot because he has no trousers on below, which makes picturing the image a whole lot funnier for the audience.



this is a mid shot scene from the film anuvahood. this scene is affective because you can see hand gestures being made by the character(adam deacon), not just facial. this scene can also slightly establish the british setting, it shows the area around as typical british flats.



this is a long shot from the british movie This Is England, it is of the character gadget walking towards the group of skinheads, it is effective because it clearly shows him walking with beer under a bridge to a group of kids. it could be seen as stereotyping because in society teenagers are seen to be trouble and hanging around drinking alcohol. in this shot you can also see the background of the scene, it shows its a rough area from the type of housing and setting.



this is a long shot from the film 21 Jump Street. in this long shot you can clearly see the surrounding background and the police bike the character is getting onto, the movement of the character shows that he is nervous by the way he shakily gets onto his bike which is affective because he adds to the way the audience are supposed to look at this character as a person out of the norm.



this is another set of clips from the same film 21 jump street, however it is a variety of long shots and extra long shots. ELS are effective because it doesn't just show the whole of the character, it also clearly shows the setting and background so you can get an idea of the area etc. it is affective because it shows you interesting aspects in the scenes like full body expressions and movements to create impressions
