Media Techniques - Sound

Sound -
  • Diegetic sound - Sound whose source is visible on the screen/ implied to be present by the action of the film. E.g character voices, sounds made by objects, music from instruments in the story.
  • Non-diegetic sound - Sound whose source is not visible at all, for example; narrators commentary, sound effects for dramatic purpose and mood music.
  • Synchronous sounds - Sounds which are synchronised with what is viewed. This contributes to the realism of the film to create an atmosphere.
  • Asynchronous sounds - Sounds do not match visuals on the screen to provide some sort of chaos towards the action or natural order of the characters in the scene.
  • Sound motif - A certain sound that is associated with a particular character, setting, situation or idea through the film. It can help to shape a story that requires mainly characters and locations and help unify the film and sustain its narrative development.
  • Sound bridge - Sound bridges can lead in or out of a scene. it is used for continuity - the sound from one scene is carried out into the scene following it.
Soundtrack - 
  • Score - Original music which is composed for a film, this would be used throughout and in the background of the scene.
  • Incidental music - Music used in a film as a background to create or enhance a particular atmosphere or environment.
  • Ambient sound - Background sounds which are present or recognisable in a scene or location. This would be things such as crowd, traffic, rain, wind or chirping noises, just to name a few.

The poster I am analysing is the 2017 Beauty and the Beast poster. Posters are split into thirds, usually on teaser posters; this rule isn’t followed as there is only minimal information included, such as a title and release date and sometimes the cast or director names. On the classic poster however, they are usually put in these thirds with the top third being the cast names, director names or a tagline, the middle third is known for having a picture   and the bottom third would have the title and other credits or som
