The Outbreak sound exercise

The Outbreak sound exercise.

We had moved a short movie on sound so we can show the different sounds we had used and why we used this different types of sounds. There are different types of sounds and they are:

• Diegetic 
• Non-Diegetic
• On-Screen 
• Off-Screen 
• Parallel
• Contrapuntal 

Diegetic refers to the world of text, so we can hear the dialogue, sound effects, music with a source within the the text, for example a radio.

Non-Diegetic refers to everything outside the world of text, this refers to the voice over, soundtrack captions, titles, subtitles.

On-Screen sound is when the audience can see the source of the sound.

Off-Screen soound is when the audience cannot see the source of the sound.

Parallel sounds which match the action.

Contrapuntal sounds is when the sound does not match the action.    

In our group we had used most of the sounds techniques, however we did not use all of the sounds because some of the sounds might of not suited the short movie that we have made.

At the beginning of the movie we use contrapuntal sound and on-screen sound. These goes sounds are used when the radio starts to play the music. This is a on-screen sound because as it moves on you can see where the music is playing from, furthermore the contrapuntal sound is used to show that it does not match the action of the movie this shows that the audience may think that nothing bad is going to happen. We capture the sound effectively because it shows the viewers what is going on and how and where we had use the sound.
