Sound

Sound is one of the most important ways to create a story in a media text. It allows the story to move along and let the audience know what is happening without them having to see anything.

There are six types of sound:

• Non-diagetic- Sound the characters can't hear
• Music
• Diagetic- Sound in the scene
• Dialogue
• Foley-Sound a human makes
• Sound effects 

In the lesson we focused on a movie clip and listened for the different sounds used.

Sounds used:

• Intense music
• Metal door opening
• Police sirens
• Glass breaking
• Airplanes taking off
• Lorry horn
• Explosions
• Groaning
• Seatbelt click
• Loading a gun
• Airport speaker
• Buttons on phone/key board
• Dialogue (ADR- Actual Dialogue Replacement)

All these sounds added to the setting, allowed the story to move along and created emotion and tension for the audience.
