Use of Sound & editing

Use of Sound

Diegesis - The 'story world', world of narrative, How real the diegesis appears is linked to the verisimilitude

Verisimilitude - The appearance of being real e.g Eastenders has a high verisimilitude

Diegetic sound - sound that appears as though its coming from within the story world of the film or tv programme e.g dialogue, tone, accent, dialect, SFX. These are added during production or post production to create meaning,Sound effects and dialogue are planned carefully in pre production.

Foley - sound effects that are created in a studio and added in production/post production, foley artists would create ; a door creaking,A water splash, a physical slap.

Non-diegetic sound - Sound clearly not coming from within the story world, e.g incidental music or non diegetic sound effects.

Incidental music - Music added to an incident e.g a fast up tempo beat for a car chase, added in post production.

Non-diegetic sound effects - Sound effects that connote a meaning, unrealistic effect used for emphasis.

Sound motif  - a sound badge, when a character has an associated music when it appears e.g Darth Vader

Theme music - another form of non diegetic music.

Sound bridge/Sonic Bridge - a sound editing technique that works with cutaways to give the audience more information

Round up - Use of sound 

- learnt about sound motif and glad we revisited diegetic and non diegetic as couldn't remember the difference


Editing Techniques

Action Match-  - an action match is where an action began in one shot is commuted in the next shot disguising the fact that there has been a cut, the movement is continuing throughout two different camera shots.

Shot reverse shot - Juxtapose two images in order to create a link between them.


Cross Cutting- Also known as parole editing refers to an editing sequence that cuts between two or more narrative events are occurring in different places, usually simultaneous, its used to give the sense of meanwhile.

Cutaway - an interruption of a continuously filled action by inserting a view of something else, its usually followed by a cutback to the first shot, Cutaway edits relate to the main action or provides more information about the story or location.

Insert shot - An insert shot is a close up shot designed to draw the audiences attention to something that was only part of the previous shot. Sometimes an insert shot is hot through the point of view shot meaning we are looking at the object as the character.

Eye line Match- A kind of shot-reverse-shot structure, this showing what a character is looking at
