    Diegetic Sounds In Films

    • 283 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Diegetic sounds are sounds that come from the movement or actions seen on screen or in the world of the movie. Diegetic sounds help draw the viewer into the film so that they think they are actually part of it. In films we hear familiar sounds that we hear every day and we can make a connection to them. The sounds that I will add will make the viewer feel suspense as well as a feeling as though they are actually in the film itself. The first sound I will add is known as an ambient sound. An…

    Passing the dirty door, she heard moaning and pounding again. Then she heard the door, on the third door break open. Looking up, she swung around and pointed her rifle and got ready to shot anything that was following her. The moans approached, vibrating throughout the staircase. Reaching into one of pockets she pulled out a flash light with her free hand, and on turning it on. She pointed upward and saw something that caused her face to go white, it was a herd of zombies. Moaning looking around…

    "The most important parts of a film are the mysterious parts - beyond the reach of reason and language" - Stanley Kubrick Kubricks distinguished movie making was made out of experimentation. Everything is centered around re-invention. It's hard to talk about Kubricks work without overly analysing it, but that should be done because he is one of the most celebrated directors of our time. His film making techniques are striking, but the most important things within his films are exploring the…

    I never considered paintings to be the beginning of photography, nor have I ever considered rough sketches of city streets to be its humble beginnings either. I have never gone to an art museum and thought, “hm, maybe this artist was using some sort of camera obscura technique to help see an image clearer, or to see different angles of the image at the same time.” From now on, I will. It is an extremely innovative technique that has never once crossed my mind. Looking at the images in the power…

    Looks like you’re in a pickle, and have just been ‘zombified’. It’s certainly likely that you’re puzzled on how to move on with this fresh lifestyle (tons are). Well it’s a darn virtuous miracle that a zombie happened to stumble upon this essay, it has wondrous advice, and can easily create an average, operational and undead zombie! It’s quite an immense step if I do say so myself. Everybody must have an infection left by that outbreak of distasteful and disastrous parasites that turn living…

    Karina, I liked your introduction and how you explain that people can have different opinions and critical approaches. Some people find certain aspects of literature more important than others. I agree with you on your first paragraph. I think the “Siskel & Ebert Halloween (1978) Review” is New Criticism. Both of the critics are more interested in the art form of film and see all the aspects taken to make it. They want the music, actors and concept of the movie to make you feel as if you could…

    Meaning Of Sound In Film

    • 311 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Sound sets the tone, the mood, the mise-en-scene of the shot. Sound tells us much about the movie and also clarifies the situation. If we are to feel the suspense and fear of a scene, the background sounds get louder such as foot-steps and ticking clocks. A close-up of a sweating face in the dark tells us the person is scared of what might happen or that they just woke-up from a nightmare, depending on the sounds or lack thereof. Sound has great meaning in film when used creatively as a means of…

    In one of the most infamous horror film scenes from Silence of the Lambs (1991, dir. Jonathan Demme), FBI agent Clarice Starling played by actress Jodie Foster staggers shaking and gasping for air as she tries to escape serial killer Buffalo Bill’s (actor ted levine) basement in the pitch darkness. The audience sees and follows Clarice through Bill’s night vision goggles. Placing the viewer in Bill’s perspective gives the popular human fear of being watched in the dark a terrifying realness.…
