Research of editing and sound
- 1. Sound techniques: • Diegetic sound- Is any sound that originates from sources within the film’s world. • Voices of characters • Sounds made by objects in the story • Music that the characters have control over e.g. instruments, radios ect. • Non-diegetic- Is sound that is not a part of the film’s world • Narrator’s commentary • sound effects added for dramatic effect • Mood music
- 2. Editing Techniques: • Editing refers to how shots are put together to make up a film. There are a number of editing techniques that film-makers can use to convey space and time in the films narrative: • cuts • dissolves and fades • Montage • Names of editing techniques: • -The split Edit • -
- 3. Cuts: • A cut is the splicing of two shots together. Between sequences the cut marks a rapid transition between sequences the cut marks a rapid transition between one time and pace and another, but depending on the nature of the cut it will have different meanings. • The split cut: • L Cut: • -Audio cut trails picture cut • J Cut: • -Audio cut leads picture cut
- 4. Dissolving and Fading: • A dissolve is a transition between two sequences or scenes where the first image dissolves into the second image. This type of transition suggests a longer passage of time than a cut. • A fade dissolves into black or out from black.
- 5. Montage: • In film-making, a montage is an editing technique where shots are juxtaposed in an often fast-paced fashion that compresses time and conveys a lot of information in a relatively short period.
- 6. The use of sound used is non-diegetic sound which is shown through the sound of wind. This sound is used to show the audience how high tom cruise is on a building and how dangerous it is for him. This would create suspense because the sound of wind tunnels makes the audience worry that tom cruise is too high up and if he falls he dies because it is a long way down. The cut between the times 3:30 and 3:33 shows how intense the stunt is and how much tom cruises character is in danger because as his glove stops working the camera cuts straight to the problem and then cuts back to show tom cruise on the side of a really high building because in the reflection of the glass he is climbing up the ground looks miles away. The cut happens instantly to show how fast something can go badly and tom cruises character could die, it also shows how intense and serious the situation is. This creates worry, sympathy and suspense because the audience don’t want their beloved character to die however as they saw by the fast cut that if anything is done incorrectly then he will die.
