For the last workshop i decided to re-visit workshop 2 and add on some effects to the dubbed dialogue. In this workshop i used a foley effect and added a source of sound too. The foley effect i used was an effect i recorded my self which required me to go to a restaurant and record the atmosphere over there. This was useful in my project because the setting was set in a canteen and a restaurant is the closet thing that sounds similar to the canteen in schools yet it's less louder. This foley effect played from the beginning right to the end of the clip. The last source of sound i used in the video was used to create tension between the two characters. The instruments used was strings which are trigger an octave below middle C. This was used effectively in my project because it helps the appropriate mood to be set for the audience to understand what's going on. Considering that i find this project one of the best out of the other 4, i still think there needs to be improvements...

Evaluation In this workshop i've added 3 types of music based on how the mood changes throughout the scene. The scene starts with Omar making an appearance by walking into the block and as it happens, the 1st sound track is being played. The soundtrack used is "Snoop Dogg - What's My Name". I used this as an audio track to signify the dominance of Omar's walk into the block whilst the kids are running away. The track used is a typical up-beat hip hop song which relates to the way the scene opens, with kids running on the estate that are mainly from the black minority. I feel like this was a good choice of sound to use for the opening seconds of the scene because it creates a particular mood that sets the exact environment that its set in. The next soundtrack used was the conflict between Omar and the teenager. The track used was suspenseful and it was used in an effective way because Omar was sending life-threatening threats to the teenager if he didn't ...

Evaluation: For this workshop i teamed up with Lloyd as there was more than one character in within the scene i selected. we both recorded our voices using an iPhone and then dubbed it over the original video whilst the volume was turned down. What i felt went well was the combination of our voices. The differences in our voices, instead of having myself pretending to be 2 different people, it makes it more accurate as well as realistic when two people act out on each character. The one problem that seems to get in my way is the way me and Lloyd's voice was recorded and dubbed. When it came to aligning the recording with the video, the beginning of the recording was in time with the lip sync whilst the ending of the recorded audio clip ended up being out of sync. This was because me and Lloyd found it tricky to record our voices at the same time the actors were speaking. To improve the quality on timing with the audio recordings i could have chopped up the audio file and make...

Evaluation For the voiceover workshop I had to write a script according to the scene i wanted to make a voiceover to. I chose "Omar's coming" to make a voice over to as it was short and simple to add my voice into it. Down below shows the script i made to record my voice to add to my chosen scene. As there were kids running in the scene, instead of just making a voice over for the main character, i also made a voiceover for the kids as well. My intentions of using more than one voiceover creates more tension in the scene. From where the kids run into the house is where i made a voiceover for them. The voiceover at that specific point after Omar starts threatening the kids, had been said in a petrifying tone. "Just give it to him". I've decided to include this in the voiceover because it gives the audience the idea that they are actually scared of Omar, however as there are more than one kid in the scene some would show a different feeling to the r...

In this assignment i'm going to analysis 2 scenes from 2 different movies and 1 documentary that explains how sound and picture creates different moods within them. The 3 movies i'm going to be analysing are Children of Men, Kingsman & Stacey Dooley Investigates UK Kids Selling Drugs Documentary. The first scene from the first movie i'm going to analyse is Children of Men. This movie was released back in 2006 in the month of September (22nd). Children Of Men ~ Scene Analysis https://youtu.be/wCTgUq6hzUk Children of Men is an Action/Thriller film which was released in late 2006. The film also features a sub-genre of Sci-Fi as it has elements of products that look quite futuristic and also set in 2027. The movie starts off with a black background until we hear the first element of speech by two news reporters. The use of a black screen signifies that something bad/tragic has happened. This creates sudden tension for the audience as they don't know how exactly th...

The scene i'm going to be analysing in Kingsman is the final bar scene. The scene starts with Non-Diegetic music and then it transitions to Diegetic music. The music that was being played was upbeat and it set a happy mood for the ending till the camera pans out of the tablet and on to Dean & Samantha. The dialogue starts with Dean asking Samantha to turn the music off as it is annoying him meanwhile Samantha doesn't reply but huffs and puffs. The Diegetic music starts to fade away as the camera pans out of the two until a voice is heard. "I rather like that song". Here instantly the audience are left surprised as Eggsy has returned to the same setting to where he was in the beginning with the Kingsman who fought for him. This is an act of foreshadowing as it is showing us what Eggsy is going to do to Dean and the other guys. Going back to the sound of the film, from the point where Eggsy makes a surprise visit, non-diegetic music fades in at 13 seconds of t...

2 Scene Analysis The movie begins with a black screen with news reporters reporting about the latest news and disasters that are happening. The use of this black screen creates tension for the audiences as they don't know what exactly is going to be shown next after this scene. For this scene any other colour could have been used by the director/producer but he decided to use black because it symbolises death, evil and mystery. Mystery is a good word to use as the audience would be wondering what is going on or about to happen in this film. The first visual scene of the film starts with a crowded shop full of people who are watching the news. Even though the cafe is crowded, there is an eerie silence as they watch the news on the youngest person in the world who got murdered. As this information is shown on the news there is also a piece of Diegetic music that slowly fades in to slowly catch the audiences' sympathy and emotions in the scene too. As much as there isn...
