Behind the Scenes(sound)

The sound in film can play a narrative or direct storytelling

role or a subliminal narrative role, inviting our willing

suspension of disbelief.

It can be manipulated to produce emotional involvement in

the material.

It makes the emotions and feelings, can creates suspense.

Even silence in films is sound. In a film just the atmosphere

can create drama.

This video shows what happens behind the scenes (sound)

of a big movie, in this case ‘Australia’.

It shows how much effort and work it costs to produce just

the sound, but shouldn’t call it ‘just’ the sound.

Most of the important people who are responsible for sound

are introduced.

When I watched the film I noticed how important the role of sound is and what a difference it can make. So my conclusion out of watching this video is that we should consider the usage of sound more importantly in our film.

We should record more background sounds and other diegetic sounds, like footsteps. We probably could set up a Foley Session (view next slide).

Foley is the reproduction of everyday sound effects which

are added in post-production to enhance the quality of

audio for films, television, video, video games and radio.

These reproduced sounds can be anything from the

swishing of clothing and footsteps to squeaky doors and

breaking glass. The best Foley art is so well integrated into

the film that is goes unnoticed by the audience.
