Sound and Mise en scene


Sound

diegetic and non-diegetic



diegetic refers to the world of text

eg: dialogue ,sound effects ,music with a source within a text and radio

Non-diegetic refers to everything outside the world of the text

examples: voiceover ,soundtrack ,caption ,titles and subtitles gun shot

Sound: on/off-screen

on-screen sound-the audience can see the source of the sound

off-screen sound-the audience can`t see the source of the sound

parallel sound matches the action

contrapuntal sound: does not match the action

starts off slow and then when the shark attacks the cuts massively increase 

Sound: Sound bridge

a sound bridge helps create a smooth transition between two scenes    used in the Matrix



Mise-en-scene

a french term meaning: in the scene or frame

elements are

1)settings and props

2) facial expressions and body language

3)costume, hair and make-up

4)lighting and colour

5)  positioning of characters and objects in the frame

where objects and characters are, positions are very important

object and characters can be in the foreground middle-ground or background

this can emphasize the relative importance of the object or character

Colour

from the 1930s to the 1940s black and white represented reality and colour represented fantasy and spectacle

today the opposite is true

extract the wizard of Oz (1939)

Colour: Denotation and Connotation

Detonation-the literal description of an idea, concept or object

Connotation-what we associate with an idea, concept or object



if characters or objects are positioned evenly within the frame this will give a balanced feel to the shot

if the characters are positioned at the outside edges of the frame this indicates confrontation or distance

focus pulling switch from focus to blurry or blurry to focus

Lighting

the key light is what is the brightest and most influential

the back light contracts it and creates a silhouette or a shadow 

under light when the source of light is coming from bellow

    Again, there is a ton of information here (which is great!) but it needs to be clearer.

    1. Separate your uses and gratifications theory into a different blog post.
    2. Use a Web 2.0 tool such as Prezi, Canva or Piktochart to display your work.
