Activity 1: A sound editor is someone who produces sounds to make sure all dialogue and sound is matched and appropriate for the picture.
A sound mixer is someone who combines sounds to create a whole sound that is best for what picture is shown, like changing levels of layering sound
Activity 2: Diegetic sound in ‘Shaun of the Dead’ is used such as the TV, we know this as the characters react to what is being told on the TV.
Non Diegetic sound in ‘Shaun of the Dead’ is used such as the music when the two characters are attempting to kill the zombies. They can hear this but only we can as it brings more verisimilitude (since the characters wouldn’t have music playing out of nowhere in the real world) and intensifies the emotions displayed.
Activity 3: A needle drop is when a song (made before the film, usually a well known song) is used in a scene. This usually helps us feel how the character is feeling during this moment.
Activity 4: A Foley artist could create sound for animal noises, leaves crunching or eating.
Activity 5: The main theme in all James Bond films use a leitmotif to create a recognisable identity for James Bond, making us resonate and create a liking to this character
Activity 6: Fight Club uses narration that only the audience can hear however this isn’t always reliable. This is used in fight club to create chaos and to help the audience understand what the protagonist is going through during moments of insomnia and DID.
Activity 7: my favourite film soundtrack is Suicide Squad (2016) by James Gunn and David Ayer as they use quite a few old songs that I resonate with personally, but it also gives an authentic feel to the rising action which makes me feel as if I’m one of the characters. It helps give uniqueness to individual characters such as Harley Quinn when she is locked up in a cell. This is a jukebox soundtrack
