War Soundscape

For the second task, we had to create a soundscape to depict a war scene. All of the sound effects you can hear are from Sound Bible.

Diegetic Vs. Non-Diegetic

Recently in class we have been looking at various sounds used in movies and adverts. Our main focus so far has been the difference between Diegetic and Non-diegetic.

• Diegetic: sound whose source can be seen on the screen, and is implied to be present by the action of the film. Examples include: voices of characters and object/prop sounds.
• Non-diegetic: sound whose source is neither visible on the screen or implied to be present in the action. Examples include: background music and commentators.

The example clip we looked at was from a James Bond movie.

The diegetic sound in this extract includes: dialogue, gun shots, glass smashing, footsteps etc.

The non-diegetic sound includes: background music, doors slamming, etc.

It is hard to list all of the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds as this is a very action packed scene which means the sound producer will have filled it with many of both types of sound.

Camera Shots - Lego Clip

Our first task was to create a short clip of someone delivering some shocking news to someone else, by only using different camera shots and angles. 

Firstly, we created a story board so that we knew what camera shots to use and when, so that the clip was as effective as possible.

We then proceeded to take the shots and put them together in the previous chosen order.

This was the result:
