Sound plays a vital role in film and helps shape the way in which the viewer reacts and watches a motion picture. Sound influences and enhances what we see on the projector screen. It is able to influence what we see and affect its images by bringing to life the images on the screen. For example, the sound of a grenade making a huge explosion magnifies it effects on the scene at hand. The noises make the scene and actions come alive and seem more and more real. Sound can help to capture the viewers attention and wraps them into the scene.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF SOUND THAT MAY BE INCLUDED;
- Music - can enhance emotions, suggests a particular type of film and sets the theme to the film.
- Voice-over - The pitch and tone of the voice will affect the way you imagine your character and you will create an image of what the character looks like.
- Sound Effects - (e.g. door closing, footsteps, screams, laughter)
Types;
Diegetic - sound who's source is visible on the screen or whose source is implied to be present by the action of the film (voices of characters).
Non-Diegetic - sound who's source is neither visible on the screen nor has been implied to be present in the action (mood music).
SAW
As you can see in this clip which is the opening sequence from 'Saw' it constantly has included sound to affect the audience. To make them feel a certain way or keep them hooked on what will happen next. There are both sounds that are diegetic and non-diegetic.
