The document discusses various elements of film and television production including genres, instrumentation, tempo, dynamics, rhythm, melody, texture, harmony, structure, technology, sound effects, voice over, dialogue, dubbing, underscore, diegetic and non-diegetic sound. It provides examples of how these elements are used in the openings of The Simpsons and The Pink Panther, specifically mentioning instruments, sound effects, and voiceover used in The Simpsons opening and the process of importing, placing, adjusting size and length, and adding effects to sound clips for The Pink Panther.

3.  Instrumentation: The use of instruments &
vocals in a piece, the instruments used.
 Tempo: The speed at which a piece of music
is played.
 Dynamics: The volume of which a piece of
music is played.
 Rhythm: A pattern of sound often used to
accompany a main melody as a beat.
 Melody: The main body of a piece of music,
the leading instrument's piece.

4.  Texture: The quality of a sound, how 'clear' a
piece can sound, how music is put together,
layers. One instrument playing is
'monophonic', lots of instruments together
would be 'polyphonic'.
 Harmony/Key: The combination of sounds
put together to sound well structured, often
used in duets.
 Structure: The music organised in layers, the
intro, verses and choruses, and finally the
outro. Solos are often in pieces of music too.
 Technology/SFX: Real or artificial sounds that
are added to a piece of music or sound in
order to create atmosphere/mood or to
support the event occurring.

5.  Sound Effects (SFX) – Sound effects can be
sourced from places like libraries, or they
can be recorded by hand. E.g recording
traffic.
 Voice Over – Voice-over is a production
technique where a voice that is not part of
the narrative (non-diegetic) is used in a
radio, television production, filmmaking,
theatre, or other presentations. The voice-
over may be spoken by someone who appears
elsewhere in the production.

6.  Dialogue – Dialogue can be recorded during
production, or can even be produced in post
production by dubbing.
 Dubbing – Dubbing is when the voice that is
required in the production is recorded after
it has been filmed.
 Underscore – Non-diagetic sound that is used
in post production to enhance the narrative
or story of the sequence.
 Non Diagetic – Not part of the action, it put
in during post production.
 Diagetic – The sound that can be heard on
screen.

10. The Pink Panther:
Once I collected all my
sound effects I needed
to import them in to
Cubase, then adjust
them to the correct
part of the sequence.

11. Then had to zoom in to the sequence so that I
could place my audio exactly where I wanted
it. Using a timescale is very helpful, it will
help as you go frame by frame to do your
adjusting.

12. Next I needed to adjust the size of some of the
audio I had collected. I still wanted the clip
but I wanted to cut out a part from the
middle.

13. Finally I wanted to adjust the length of a piece
of audio, I needed it to last slightly longer. I
also wanted to add effects to some of the
sections. For example, reverb, echo/delay
etc.
