5 Master Edits with Sound

 

        Sound really helped my scenes convey more meaning in comparison to when they did not have sound. This is exemplified firstly in my contrast scene. The intense and frantic music that I added (non-diagetic sound) to the scene created much more of an anxious feeling which conveyed how the stressed student felt when he was trying to catch up on his late work in the scene. It also helped the idea of contrast because, in the second part of that scene, the student is sleeping in class and there is no music at all. 

        In addition to this, the addition of the elegant string and orchestra music that I added to the symbolism scene created a sense of elegance, intelligence and overall a serious and revolutionary mood. This sound displayed a sort of light bulb moment that was also being illustrated on the scene. 

        Furthermore, the voice over (non-diagetic sound) I added into the leitmotif scene really established a new and serious feeling to the scene. As well as this, it provided more clarity into what the common theme, or leitmotif, of the scene was. 

In the scene with the pianist, you have the diagetic sound voice of the author in his head wishing that he was playing piano. You then have more diagetic music when the character begins playing the piano which is also an example of direct sound.

Finally, the simple dialog in the last scene, the simultaneous scene allows the viewer to not only hear both the conversations, but to also help the viewer see that these two events are, in fact, occurring at the same time. When the actors all collide with each other at the end of the scene, the cross dialog between the three of them creates a sense of humor as well which gives the scene a very light and comical feeling.
