Sound and editing

Sound and Editing

Sound

Sound is a key part of any scene or movie. If the sound is not appropriate or in sync it is very obvious and frustrating. so a lot of time is spent ensuring that the soundtrack and dialogue are correct.

• Music

- Diagetic (from within the scene)

- Non-diagetic (not from the scene)

• Dialogue

- ADR

• Sound FX

- Object noises e.g gun shot, phone call, etc.(Foley)

• Atmospheric 

- e.g. Theme music

Editing

Editing is also a crucial part of any film or scene as the audience  must be able to understand what is happening. A scene is not necessarily filmed in the order it is supposed to be shown in. So the sections are edited together in a way that makes sense.

• Cut - change scene, compress time, vary the point of view or montage (build up an image or idea)

• matched cut-continuity of direction,completed action

• jump cut- from one place to another

• motivated cut-pointed out are vie the character

• cutting rate-type of scene, e.g. action/ dialogue

• cutting rhythm -how well it flows

• cross-cut-slow angle change

• cutaway-reaction shot 

• insert

Editing transitions

• buffer -intermediate shot 

• fade/dissolve -in and out of a colour

• super impositions -laying a shot over another

• wipe -slide across the screen

• inset -shot within a shot

• split screen -two screens at the same time

• stock shot -you cant film a shot so go to a shot library to find it.
