Troubled

For our sound exercise we were ordered to do a short film to practise different types of sound we have been learning recently. In our film we added various types of sound: diegetic, non-diegetic, parallel, dialogue and music.

we  first put in non-diegetic music in the background (Maroon 5 - Sunday Morning) of our play to set the mood of a peaceful and calm environment while Ellie and I were reciting our dialogue. We added about 3 flashbacks in our play referring to a "party" that happened the weekend before. For each of these flashbacks we added non-diegetic and parallel flashback music so it would be clear to the audience that we are going back in time, this minimises confusion for the audience. When the flashbacks of the party took place we added diegetic sound that Denis was dancing to on a table and when a "fight" was taking place. We added some more diegetic sound of sirens for when the police arrived at the party.

the use of music gave the short film a better effect, and the sound effects really added to the film, it kept the audience focused.
