Difference between sound mixer and sound editor: (8/11/21)
Sound editor- One responsible for managing sound tracks and assembling sound recordings in preparation for the final sound mixing (Post-Production)
Sound mixer- Sound mixers ensure that there are no unwanted sounds that are recorded during shoots, and make sure that audio from boom mics are recorded at a good level. (Production)
Needle drop moment: (10/11/21)
Using sound that already exists, rather than creating an original score within a film. The ‘Needledrop’ is used when producers want music to add a theme to a scene, and for the audience to associate the music with the mood of the scene.
Foley artist use in films:
Foley artists are individuals who add audio that cannot be recorded during the shoot; audio is created by Foley artists in post production. Examples of sound they create:
Footsteps Impacts natural sounds Background noise Physical damage artificial sounds (sci-fiction)
Film that uses “Leitmotif”:
A leitmotif is a short recurring musical phase/score linked to a specific character, place, or idea
Ex in a film: Halloween (1978)
Voice over/Narration :
Narration can be seen in the film ‘Inglourious Basterds 2009′ where Hugo Stiglitz’s character was first introduced to the audience. Narration is used to summarise Stiglitz’s history with gestapo officers and the ‘basterd’s’ interest in him.
Favourite film soundtrack:
Spider-man: into the Spider-Verse soundtrack album by Daniel Pemberton. Features from Jaden Smith, Amine, Post Malone, Swae lee, etc. Soundtrack is suited toward a younger audience with artist features well known within the younger community.
