Sound is more than just music as when all sounds are put together and made they have to create an atmosphere, and feeling: theme- happy/sad, environment- forest or the seaside, atmospheric sound- mood/ tension, diegetic or non-diegetic, dialogue, sound effects- explosions/ car screech, wind.
Sound can also be useful for transitions in films; L cut is when dialogue loudness changes to suggest that the conversation may be happening in the background, whereas J cut is when audio is playing before you actually see the scene, eg black screen but with audio of the sea and the wind, then it cuts onto a scene of the beach.
After learning about the variety of sound, we watched a video on all the sound effects used to create The Hobbit, it was very useful and interesting watching it as it allowed me to understand how important sound is and how much effort and work is needed to be put in to it in order for it to feel realistic.
- If they did not have the sounds they wanted then they would go and make them, for example they had to spend a few days in a cave in order to create the realistic sounds for one of the scenes
- It took them a while to create the vocals of the goblins in order for them to have the personality and sound they imagined
- The new technology allowed that sound to better than the Lord of the Rings as it was capable of creating and mixing more realistic sounds
