Sounds in film

1) Diegetic sound - Is the original sound used when filming a scene. 

In a movie or film diegetic is sound that a viewer can identify ether by visual or inference. 
This type of sound is great when wanting the audience to focus on the dialogue and character development. 

Ex) An example of diegetic sound is a character's voice when speaking, the roar of a speeding car, or the bang of a revolver. A movie that uses diegetic sound is Car's. This movie uses speeding car sound effects in it.  
Here is the sound of a car speeding by. 


2) Non-diegetic- Is sound added during post-production of the movie or film. Non-diegetic is the sound that the characters cannot hear.

In a movie non- diegetic is great when wanting the audience to feel a certain way like (anxious, uncertain, joyful) about a specific scene or character. 

Ex) An example of a Non-diegetic sound is the specific adventurous music that is played in Pirates of the Caribbean when they are about to on an adventure. 
Here is the adventure sound. 


3) Ambient sound - Is the background sound in a clip or scene. 

In a film an ambient sound is used when a sound from the background is played. This allows the audience to better understand the setting and what is happening in a scene.

Ex) An example is ambient sound is wind blowing, water falling, office rumbles, traffic jam, forest murmurs, and even characters muttering. Bird box is a movie where wind blowing is used. 
Here is a clip of wind blowing. 


4) Voiceover - Is when an off-screen character is speaking in a scene of a movie. 

In a movie or film a voiceover is dialoged that's spoken by a character that is not on screen. This allows the audience to better understand the storyline.  

Ex) Animated movies and films are great examples of voiceovers due to everything the characters say being a voiceover. An example of a voiceover in a movie is the song "your welcome" in moana. 


5) Foley - Is custom sounds made in post-production that are everyday sounds. 

In a film foley is any custom-made everyday sound. Foley allows the existing audio of the film to be enhanced. 

Ex) an example of foley in a movie is if the movie has sounds like footsteps, door opening/slamming, glass breaking, paper folding, and many more. A show Friends is a show where a door slam effect is used.
Here is the sound effect of a door slamming.

Media representations

1.  Media representations are studied through the portrayals of different social groups, such as age, social class, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and disability. I think this statement is about how through media studies movies are now able to better represent different social groups correctly. I feel that this stamen mentions how the representation of different cultures, ages,  social classes, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, and disability has been improving due to  media studies. One movie that does a good job of showing the representation of another culture is "The woman king." This movie shows how a kingdom lived and survived even at the worst of times. We learn about their native dances, weaponry, clothing, and methods of healing. While this film does a good job representing this kingdom, I don't think all media accurately represent every social group it covers. I know this because I've seen multiple statements made on a specific social group that contradicts each ot

Critical Reflection Questions

   Critical reflection PowerPoint   I created this PowerPoint by using inf ormation from previous assignment questions. In my final PowerPoint I answered questions about conventions, social group or issues, audience engagements, how my production skills developed, and how I integrated technologies in my video production.   In my PowerPoint   I   included  information on all these questions along with picture of my video. While creating this PowerPoint  I  did encounter a few problems. The first problem I had was with my PowerPoint  system. Once I  had all the information into the  PowerPoint  I the needed to record a voice over per the instructions. Unfortunately,  when I  went to record my voiceover,   I   realized  I didn't  have the record button. The record button is usually in the top right of the screen but for some reason it wasn't  these. To overcome this,  I recorded my voiceover as a separate video. The second problem I encountered was trying to find a way to add the
