Film sound is carefully designed and mixed in post-production to emphasize important sounds and set the atmosphere. There are two main types of sound: diegetic sounds that exist within the film's world, and non-diegetic sounds from outside it, like music and effects. Sound can also be synchronous, matching visuals, or asynchronous like musical scores. Elements of sound design include selective sounds, ambient atmosphere, sound bridges between scenes, effects, voiceovers, theme music, and silence to build tension. In Sherlock Holmes, the asynchronous musical score plays for most scenes, and characters have distinct music - Sherlock's is heroic while his nemesis Lord Blackwood's is menacing.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

1. Sound
Film sound is as important and as carefully controlled as the visual elements of a
text. Although sound is often recorded on set, most film sound is added in post-
production
Film sound will be mixed very carefully to ensure that important sounds are
emphasised and that the correct atmosphere for a sequence is maintained
Selective sound is: used to emphasise key sounds.
Ambient sound is: used to create the atmosphere of a place.
Other elements of sound design to look out for:
Sound bridges – the use of sounds help transition between sequences to
pass more fluidly.
Sound effects – used to create a sense of realism or to create psychological
impact or effect.
Sound can be either:
Diegetic – that is, it exists within the world of the film or
Non-diegetic – that is, it emerges from outside the world of the film, e.g. film
soundtracks
Diegetic Sound Non-Diegetic Sound
Any sound represented as coming from
within the film world.
Voices of characters.
Sounds made by objects.
Music represented as coming from
instruments in the film.
This can either be shown on or off the
screen.
Anything that is put there afterwards.
Sound effects.
Musical effects, musical score.
Film sound can be either:
Synchronous – When a sound effect is matched with another technical event
or action that influences/ reinforces the effect.
Asynchronous – When a sound originates from outside of the diegetic reality
of the film (Musical score)
2. Contrapuntal – Noise or sound effect that doesn’t match the visuals, often
juxtaposition to create alternative meaning.
Other elements of sound design to look out for:
Voiceovers – This is a voice of a character. The voice often guides or informs
the external audience but can be used to push them in the wrong narrative
direction.
Theme music – When a character has a specific piece of music to go with
their action.
Musical Score – Soundtrack. Can be used to create atmosphere between
shots.
Silence – No noise, used to build tension and provoke an action from the
audience.
Sherlock Holmes Sound
The sound is Sherlock Holmes is predominantly asynchronoussincethe musical
scoreplays for most of the scene. For example when Sherlock Holmes is
running the music goes with him, this can be called theme music since
Sherlock’s music is set to when he is doing anything heroic while Lord
Blackwood who is another main character has evil menacing music that
suggests that he is Sherlock’s nemesis.
