FILM STUDIES: sounds

In your studies you will need to be clear about the differences between diegetic and non-diegetic sound and how they impact on a film.

Music, ambient sound and sound effects all figure hugely in films.

Possible extracts for you to consider are:

The opening of Raiders of the Lost Ark – great for ambient sound, sound effects
(whip,gun)and use of music. Also no dialogue from central character, significant to
establishing of character.

Face Off – scene ( ) Child listening to ‘Over the Rainbow’ over the top of violent
shoot out. – Contrapuntal sound. Also dramatic sound effects in between.

A great site with lots of resources on sound is
