  • Why is sound or the lack of sound so important to a scene in a film?  What kind of messages can it send to an audience? 

 

The lack of sound in the scene where you hear nothing as the cake bakes gives the message that good things take time. The music in the background is calming and melodious and matches the other sounds. 

 

  • Explain why it was or was not difficult to come up with sound ideas for a story that would not have visuals for the audience to see. 

 

I did not have a difficult time coming up with sound ideas. Since the baking part was self-explanatory, you could hear the eggs cracking, the flour pouring, footsteps, and the fridge opening. You could hear the process of something being baked by 2 people and all the steps involved. 

 

 

  • Explain whether you believe or do not believe that your group was able to create a sound story that the audience would be able to understand by just listening to the sounds that were chosen.  What was the story you created and how did the sounds bring the story to life? 

 

I was able to create a story so that you could understand just by listening to it. The story was about two people going to bake a cake and you can hear all the steps it takes. You can hear milk pouring, eggs cracking and flour dropping into a bowl. You could also hear someone picking up a bowl and the batter pouring into a baking tray. These sounds bring the story to life because it includes the steps you would take to make a cake, and you can hear the realism within it and understand what is going on.

Movie Analysis: Coraline       In the “Passage to them Other World” scene, you can see a variety of angles used. For example , the tilted angle when she chases the little mouse to the tiny door connecting to the Other World , it provides a n odd essence to the scene. You can see all the different angles of the mouse, upside down, sides, and right side up. In an odd way, it also foreshadows the backwards place he brings Coraline. As the scene continues you can a POV shot while she crawls through the tunnel in the small door. It gives an almost magical effect, and it gives you the feeling as if you are crawling through it yourself. The shot is quickly followed to w hen she sees the Other Mother for the first time, there is a close on her face, but mainly on her button eyes . Here you see how similar she looks to Coraline’s normal mom in her world. This close up emphasizes on how different the Othe r Mother is from Coraline and from us. It immediately draws our ...

Movie Opener Brainstorm and Research

 Movie Opening 1: RISE      This movie opening about a kid seemingly practicing for a soccer match and proceeds to stare down the seemingly opponent. Natural lighting is use throughout the film. Various close ups are used to show the importance of the objects and movements. One key close up seems to be of the main character and his opponent. This seems to be a classic "who will win?" scene.     The most influential part of this film that had on my group project was the lighting. I like the natural lighting coming from the sun outside. I plan on having most of my film outdoors for the bright and joyful light that the sun provides. Movie Opening 2: Dear Lover     In this short film, it is about a girl who ran away from home because her lover's family had such a good relationship with her, and she knew they would never accept her lover. A somber tone is felt throughout the whole film. In the end, she and her lover are sitting by the lake, contemplati...
