Sound analysis: blog task

 1) Find a film clip on YouTube that uses sound in an interesting way. Analyse the use of sound, making sure you use the key language we have learned about sound in film:
Kingsman:Secret Service
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZCtSq3yDPs

  • Diegetic and non-diegetic sound
    Diegetic sound :
    the physical sounds of violence like punches and gunshots, ears ringing, and the church bells and dialogue within characters in separate scenes.
    Non-diegetic sound:
    the loud, driving rock music of "Free Bird" that plays throughout the fight, completely unrelated to the church setting
  • Parallel and contrapuntal sound
    There is use of parallel sound through the rock and high paced song through the fight scene
  • Sound bridges
    The music "Free Bird " is used throughout multiple different scenes in the church throughout the clip
Remember to discuss/analyse all the different types of sound present in the clip:
  • Music
    deliberately used to up the pace, and create an entertaining and chaotic environment through the clip.
  • Dialogue
    There is racist dialogue to show that the main character in the clip is not meant to be here , as well as in other scenes we see there is a understanding to a degree of what is happening.
  • Voiceover
    There is no use of voiceover, only direct dialogue from different characters as scenes and perspectives swap. 
  • Sound effects
    ears ringing, stabbings, shooting, punches, objects thrown and screams

For Make - up and hair - we had not used anything as thi...

Film & TV Language: Sound notes and practical task

 The Use of the song 'run' by Joji: -This was used with the space imagery as it speaks about wanting to escape a relationship- similarly to escaping Earth( parallel with first half of the video),furthermore the second half is contrapuntal as it shows the current state of what we live in and how we no longer feel the need to 'escape' , accepting man-kind and technological advance as the death of nature without our universe.
