Planning film sound exercise (and case study of the giver) (sound tehcniques)

 Sound techniques are important in a film since they can aet the mood and tone in scene. There are three types of sounds: synchronous sound, asynchronous sound, and parallel sound. My group and I identify the meaning and purpose for these types of sounds, and we were able to identify them in the opening scene of "the giver".

The Components of Sound
Define Dialogue		conversation between two or more people in a film
Define Sound Effects		a sound used besides speech and music used in film
Define Music		works with dialogue to establish the mood and tone of the film
Define diegetic sounds		sounds that come from within the world itself of the movie
List the diegetic sounds in the movie and give two or more examples.		the bicycle bell, injection machine, drone sounds, and wind
Define non-diegetic sounds		any sound that does not originate from the world of the film
List the non-diegetic sounds in the movie and give two or more examples.		the background music, and the narration in the opening shot
Sound Techniques
Define Synchronous Sound	sounds that are synced to the match with what the audience is viewing at that particular moment
List 3 examples of synchronous sound	dialog between two characters, punching sound during a fight scene, scene of a river with rushing water noises.
Define Asynchronous Sound	sound that is not synced with the film itself
List 3 examples of asynchronous sound	Birds noises that aren’t on screen, wind, dogs that aren’t on screen barking in a dark hallway.
Define parallel sound	the sound that matches the tone or mood of a sequence.
Define contrapuntal sound	sound or music that contrasts with the mood or tone of a scene.
Describe the soundscape in the film's opening and use examples. Is the sound parallel or contrapuntal? Use the Sound in Film Lesson pdf to see essential vocabulary. The soundscape was parallel because it matched the mood of the opening scene, since the sound felt like it was giving a nostalgic tone while the boy was talking about his life with his friends.
How does sound establish the opening image, the theme stated, set-up, and the catalyst? Ask questions such as: Is the sound melodic, discordant, or crescendo? How is the rhythm illustrating the pace of the film? (fast, slow, irregular) The sound was melodic and it started out slow when the boy was talking about his life, then the pace went fast as he was talking about where he lives.
Are the sounds best suited for the film?		Yes/No and why?
		yes because the tone of the sound is happy and it’s romance movie.
List 2 or more dialogue lines that support the world/setting of the film.
”after the ruins, we created a new society”		”lived in a world where differences weren’t allowed”
List 3 or more dialogue lines that support the characters of the film.
”Asher is the boy who makes everyone laugh”		”Fiona is the girl who makes everyone smile”	”my names is Jonas”
List 1 or more dialogue lines that support the theme-stated beat.
”I’m asked if I should apologize for what I did”
Sound Editing in film
Define L Cut		when audio from the preceding scene overlaps the picture from the following scene.	Document Example: when Jonas is talking about the rule, there is sound of children laughing.
Define J Cut		audio from the following scene overlapping the  picture from the preceding scene.	Document Example: When Jona’s friend Asher rings his bike bell and calls for his name. (The bell rings before it shows his friend)
