  1. Learning Objective: To explore the use of sound in film and television

  2. Although film and television largely effect the audience because of what they see, sound also has a big impact on the audience. The music used in film is known as the soundtrack. It can be broken down into the following categories...

  3. The soundtrack of a film is a very complex mix of: • dialogue recorded on location. • dialogue recorded after filming, and dubbed in sync with the lip movement of the actors – virtually all the dialogue on major movies is post- synched in a dubbing studio to get a very clean high definition sound. • diagetic sound or music. Sound or music that is recorded on location as it happens. • non-diagetic sound or music. Pre-recorded music or sound that is added to the soundtrack during the audio editing process. • sound effects (FX) - these may be recorded on location and added later or they may be created for a scene such as a gun shot, the sound of a man being punched, cars crashing etc. Hollywood does these extra sound FX in a Foley studio, which you can see working on a tour of Universal Studios – (picture of Foley studio at Universal).

  4. The two key words you need to know when analysing film are written below. Copy their definitions: Diagetic Sound: Sound or music that is recorded on set as it happens. This will include dialogue and sounds which take place within the film e.g. a door closing, gun being fired, police siren. Non-Diagetic Sound: Music or sound which is added to the film during the editing process. Most often, non-diagetic sound is music, which is used to create atmosphere or emotion. EXTENSION: What sort of instrument(s) do you think would be used to create a ‘sad’ atmosphere in film and television?
