2. FOLEY SOUND
Foley effects are sound effects added to the film
during post production.
Sounds such as footsteps, clothes rustling, crockery
clinking, doors opening and slamming, punches
hitting, glass breaking etc are re-created.
The purpose of Foley is to match or replace sound
recorded whilst filming.
Foley artists use creativity to make the audience
believe that the sound effects are real. Foley effects
are used because most of the time, the original
sounds captured during filming are obstructed by
noise or are not convincing enough.
3. VOICE OVER
A voice over is a production technique where a
voice that is not part of the narrative is used.
It is pre-recorded and placed over the top of
a film or video.
Voice over’s create a different perspective and can
make things more easy to understand. It makes
viewers think about what it is like to have this
different view other than seeing it visually.
The purpose is to understand the story and moods
of the character(s) better. It makes you understand
the thoughts or feelings of the narrator and how
important the story is.
4. REAL MEDIA TEXT (HOUSE AT THE END OF THE
STREET)
Our real media text teaser trailer uses non-diegetic
sound to create tension and a dark atmosphere.
The sound helps to build up a climax when a scary
bit of the teaser is approaching. They also have
quite a bit of dialogue in it to help establish what the
film is about. The non-diegetic sound started off
quite slow and then gradually speeds up to create
the climax.
5. PRISONERS
The teaser uses dialogue to establish what the film
is about. There has also been sound added to the
teaser by the use of a ticking clock. The nondiegetic sound is used to build tension and the use
of a voice over of a phone call is used twice
throughout the trailer which gives more insight to
the plot.
6. THE CONJURING
It starts off with non-diegetic sound and dialogue
and it does this to establish who the characters are
and what they do. Then a voice over begins and it
gives more insight into the characters shown first
and tells the audience when the film is being
released in cinemas. There is some use of foley
sound e.g. Glass breaking. Also the non-diegetic
sound builds up to put the audience on edge and
thunder sound is added to create a dark
atmosphere.
