How sound is created in films
Sound effects are created to enhance the sound in which the character makes or hears. This is done so the audience can hear specific and important sounds. These are artificially created for various reasons such as footsteps to create tension. These sound effects are made in many different ways and recorded.These are made by using different objects and recording them being hit , bashed etc. to give of a desired effect Examples:
Alien Pod - the sound is made by using dog food. The sloppy , chunky mess makes a sucky sound when poured out.This is used for a alien like pod being broken out of.
Bats- The sound of bats wings aggressively flaping is made by opening and closing an umbrella rapidly.
Being hit-In may films there includes a lot of violence. The "hit" sound can be made by rolling up a newspaper and hitting it with a stick.
Kung fu hits - Slapping a stick of celery against a counter makes a harsh hitting sound which sounds like being continuously hit .
Horse hooves- Taking to empty coconut halves and rhythmically hitting them together at however fast the horse will be walking//running will sound like it's hooves.
The way in which these sounds are created will help me with my project as it shows the different creative ways of making sound effects.

Good but which are you likely to need in your film? and How will you use them?
ReplyDeleteYour blog is very good quality though tere are some gaps e.g. Editing worksheet, more openings analysis.
You also need to upload the film which you recreated the scene based upon. Plus your preliminary task needs to be here soon!
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to keep adding as you go, it keeps things easier!
