Film and TV language:sound

clockwork orange:

In this clip their is a use of diegetic as we hear one of the characters narrating his thoughts in the background. The director has chosen classical music in a very violent and insane scene. this is known as contrapuntal sound. As the scene changes from the actors walking towards the camera to a very violent scenes the background music stays the same this helps the scenes to change smoothly. The way the  dialogues were spoken were very softly and calmly which contrasts with the violent scene.

Funny games:

diegetic and non-diegetic sounds were both included in the clip. We could hear classical music(opera) being played in the car as well as dialogue being spoken  from the characters. towards the end the end scene we hear rock music being played which its unusual as how different it is from the one being played before also it doesn't associate with he current scene, this is known as contrapuntal sound.


Life On Mars:

The sound effects in this were used to accentuate the car scene by amplifying every sound. Parallel sound was used as their was a fast paced music to compliment the fast car chase scene. Sound bridge was also used as their were many cuts in the scene this made the scene flow very easily. Their were also dialogues spoken in a very informal and loud manner which went well with the car chase scene.

 

Once Upon A Time In The West (1968) Directed by Sergio Leone:



The creeks of the wood planks and his boots build up tension as they generate a sense of fear. The creeks of the windmill also creates tension as it puts the audience in a kind of uncomfortable position as the noise is extremely high pitched. All the noises are diegetic which also builds up tension as we know the actor can hear them as well. The clicking noises of machinery at 1:20 also builds up tension as it almost sounds like horses running faster and faster. The dripping water drops also builds tension as we begin to ask where the waters coming from and what the reasoning is behind the loudness of the drops. The whimpering of the dog and the cracking of the knuckles are all signals of pain which help build up tension as we begin questioning why to dog is in pain. The buzzing of the fly continuously makes us tense as we are questioning when he is going to kill it and when the buzzing will stop.



In this trailer their is a use on parallel sound as the background music matches with the after affectrs of war. They use loud sound effects of planes in the background to convey the idea of
