Sound within films

We watched a clip of 'Priest'; a 2011 American post-apocalyptic dystopia, science fiction, action horror film starring Paul Bettany, in class and explored the use of sound and how it effects the film dynamically.

We looked at the 5 main types of sound and how they were used/how effective they were within during the clip we watched. These 5 types of sound are as followed;

- Dialogue- Words/Vocals's

- Sound effect/Foleying- is it diegetic and is if added after?

- Soundtrack- Score/Music usually added in during editing.

- Ambiance- Background sound e.g Birds, rain, wind. Sets the                         mood.

  - Silence- No sound.





 Here is the clip we watched with addition to further analysis I have made.






Production Plan

To be more organised within out group, we made a production plan consisting of what job each member of our group aims to do and when they need to achieve it. We plan to add to this list later throughout production.
