2. Sound effects are artificially created or enhanced
sounds that are used to emphasis action or create a
certain mood or feeling. Most sound effects tend to
be recordings of actual sounds that are then altered
in regard to pitch, intensity and volume to fit the
action it will be accompanying.
3. For example in action movies, a common sound effect
would be the emphasis and enhancement of the sound of
gunshots, other weaponry or attack, to emphasis the
action. This would make all that is happening seem all the
more real, and powerful in terms of impact.

4. Films include a wide range of
sound effects to create realism.
Subtle sounds are included such
as light footsteps or chatter in the
background to create the
impression of other people in a
busy setting. This could be used
in teen dramas to make
characters seem lost or small in
a sea of people. An example of
this can be seen in the teen
drama clip of ‘Waterloo Road’ of
amplified footsteps in the corridor
at around two minutes.

5. When creating our own trailer, we will be sure to
create sound effects effectively through modification
after filming if necessary to enhance the sound. We
will also include sound effects to create realism and
ambient sound that will make the world of the trailer
seem more real and relatable with its link to life and
world of the target audience e.g. a school bell which
teenagers will instantly be able to identify with.
