1. Discussing Technical Elements Of “Spaced-Gone”
Sound
The producers have used a lot of different sounds throughout to set the “mood” and
“theme” of what’s happening at a certain moment, for example when Duane (played by
Peter Serafinowicz) becomes angry when Tim(Played by Simon Pegg) reminds him of past
events, I have seen that the music changes, to a more serious tone. After making more
observation I have seen that the producers have incorporated real life gun sound effects for
two scenes throughout this episode, they have also incorporated sad music for when one of
the characters gets shot, by doing this it makes the view feel empathy towards the character
and also creates a connection with them. I have also found that the producers don’t let you
forget that this a comedy, one way they do this is creating a scene where all the characters
have an imaginary gun fight.
Editing
The producers have used a lot of different editing techniques throughout the episode, a
good example of this, would be at the beginning where they show the last scene of the
episode, this is good because it straight away gets the viewer “hooked” it makes them think
“oh, I wonder what happens to them?” so they have to watch to find out. I have also seen
that producers have edited certain scenes, so they repeat, for example when Tim and Daisy
(played by Jessica Hynes) leave the flat a person asks if they want a taxi, this line “Do you
want a taxi” is repeated several times throughout the episode. After making a stronger
observation I have found the producers have also used “flash-backs” and this is shown on
one occasion when Tim is speaking to Duane and reminds him of a past event. I think this
could make the viewer feel even more connected with the character because they will feel
as if they know everything about them and make them feel as if they haven’t missed out on
any information leading up to the present scene. The producers have also used fast paste
cuts between some scenes when leading on to another one,
