Sound Video Evaluation

The Sound Exercise Video shows how well and knowledgeable we are as Media Students in using sound effectively and variously. This can include contrapuntal and parallel, diegetic and non-diegetic music.


My sound video includes all of the elements required to assess if we can use sound effectively and varioulsy in the film. The sequence I filmed starts off with contrapuntal non-diegetic music that is used in the begining of the opening credits to the opening of the first scene, this is used to show we have used contrapuntal music effectively to suggest also that the movie 'Pregnancy gone wrong' may have various themes attached.

Diagetic sound includes footsteps, shouting and doorslams, to suggest a theme of upset and anger in the short fim, this is furthered with using parallel sad music played when there are scenes of the two characters looking upset and longing.

Overall, I feel that me and my partner did well in filming, we included all of the elements, we used them well and effectively, and the film took little time to film and edit, suggesting we know how to use the sound in film effectively. We made sure we used the sound equipment effectively, using the microphone when needed, as we have recentlyfilmed this exercise, we knew what we were doing. We also used a soundbridge as the door slam to lead from one scene to another, demenstrated the difference between on and off screen, and contrapuntal and parallel sound. I would make improvements by makign the contrapuntal sound more longer so it leads into the next scene, but overall it is a very effective piece of work.
