The Importance of Sound

Why is sound important?

          Sound is important in a film as it establishes the tone, atmosphere, stimulates reality and helps the audience to identify the Genre. It also gives the audience clues about the plot and the characters for example if the main character was a child chirpy music would be played to express the innocence of the character.Sound is also used to create realism for the viewer which amplifies their experience of the film.

Their are two main types of sound Diegetic and Non-Diegetic. Diegtic sound is: sound whose source is visible on the screen e.g: sounds made by an object or the character. Non-diegetic sound is: sound whose source is not visible on the screen nor has been implied by a present action e.g: narrator or mood music.

The director of star wars, George Lukas argues that sound is 50% of the film. Firstly dialogue tells the story and expresses feelings, emotions and motivations of the character. Secondly synchronous sounds contribute to the realism of the film and also helps to create a particular atmosphere.

Individual Ideas

Initial idea

I wanted to create a high school movie opening scene. My inspiration for this idea came from one of my favourite movies Clueless. The opening of Clueless uses fast pace moving images to illustrate the main  protagonist's hectic lifestyle as a teenager.

Plot

Two very different worlds collide. When Xavier's dad drops a bombshell that his new girlfriend and her daughter will be coming to live with them Xavier's world is turned upside down. When Hope's mother breaks the news that they will be movin in with her new boyfriend Hope's world turns upside down.

Characters

Xavier : Every girls' highschool crush. Academically failin but makes up for it on the field.

Hope : Far from a nerd. Reserved and shy. Hopes to leave highschool unnoticed and drama free.

Opening scene

Film starts with split pictures. The audience gets to watch both characters start their day at the same time, highlights the difference between the two. Camera then shows a midshot of Hope walking to scchool on the phone to her friend complaining about the amount of time her mum is spending with her new boyfriend. Camera then cuts to Xavier stepping out of his car with his friend and walking past Hope.

Distribution

Founded in 2003 Independent is a distribution company specialising in film and television. Based in London and led by CEO Luc Roeg Independent has built a reputation within the industry for creating and distributing innovative and original content.

Having distributed one of my favourite films We Need To Talk About Kevin I believe Independent is a brilliant production team that produces hard hitting raw films.

Creating your own ident

Ident Creation

My production company is called Lawson's Production. This production company would be an independent company that produces films that provides insights into peoples lives.

Distribution

This production company is most likely to produce the type of film from an Urban Youth Drama. Because they are an independent film production company that produces films to shed insight what what life is like for some people. Some films that HanWay have produced are Kidulthood and Adulthood. Hanway are also known to partner   with the BBC show their films .

                                                                    

   I think HanWay Films are more likely to produce the film  POSTCODES as it had already produced some Urban Youth Dramas for example Kidulthood and Adulthood. It would also partnership with a popular production company

Task 26- IDENT

I personally don't think that my brand has a strong identity as you are not able to establish or associate it with any genre in particular.The existing films which I would distribute are Bridget Jones,The Backup plan and other Rom-com movies.

Task 32-Distriibution

These production companies are small and usually do independant british movies for example Kidulthood, Sket and Shank.These genres are very similar to our groups 2 minute film.

Rough cut

Strengths-We were able to  learn and use applications like Warp stabiliser to make our footage smoother and clearer and also successfully put together the multiple shots we had filmed

Weakness- Some important clips that are supposed to go in-between some scenes were missing however we have created a plan in our group to film them.8

evidence of editing

In this clip we are discussing the contingency issue we faced and how we are going to create a direct pattern within our title sequence. We resolved this by removing a scene at the end.
