Sound

 Week 4!

Last posting for week four! Today's post will be discussing sound incorporated within our project.

Why is it Important?

First foremost in everything around us has or emits some sort of sound. The world as we know it is very noisy. So it would be very important that within our film we choose the appropriate sounds needed to create our story and give it life. Many films incorporate diegetic or non-diegetic sound. For example a film involving a scene of cooking could include diegetic sound of pan's clattering, or the oil sizzling on the pan. Another example would be hearing music playing from the perspective of the character listening to the music and no other sound. It's important that in our project we include either both or one of these sounds. 

Initial Plans:

After discussing with my group our goal is to incorporate foley sounds, non diegetic sound, dialogue, and diegetic sound. With foley we plan to record all the heavy breathing, screaming, clanking of objects. Within our recording many of this sound becomes lost or over layered with other sounds, so we still want to recreate make sounds ourselves of these missing sounds. For our non diegetic sound to incorporate more into our title Static; static noise of a television. Within certain scene occuring in the jail cell and flashbacks we plan to layer this sound within editing. Our resource we would use are PixaBay since it offers non copyrighted sound and music. Giving us the flexibility to not wait for permission to use a copyrighted sound. Our dialogue would be filmed over in separate recordings since it would be lost within the original sound of the video. Referencing our script when we are recording the dialogue will help our actors for their lines and director and editor when laying over the sounds when it comes to the final product. Lastly, our diegetic sound would be any footsteps, heavy breathing, opening, nature soundscape, and squeaking of the white chalk marker written on the wall. 

Video: 

This video while short helped by providing an example to reference for both diegetic and nondiegetic sounds. As well as a definitions of both sounds.
