2. The hunger games – Girl on fire
I watched this clip and wanting to analyse the sound
used.
I will talk about what kind of sounds was played on
this clip.
Also the background sound.
3. Non-diegetic sound
In this scene katniss could not hear what the
interviewer was saying because of her nerves
But the audience was able to here it. This would be
non-diegetic
4. Volume control
At the beginning of the clip the volume was very low as
she couldn’t hear anything also because of her nerves.
It was almost an echoic sound
5. Dialogue (speech & language)
Near the end, the interviewer had a sympathetic tone
as he asked a question about her sister
He had that tone as he was asking a question about her
sister and how she went in her sisters place
6. Ambient sound
This would be background sound in diegesis
But they wouldn’t be in the field of vision
In this case it was the sound of cheering but the
camera doesn’t show the people cheering.
7. Sound bridge
Where sound continues across one or more cuts
the camera would not be on the character talking it would
shoot other characters/objects but the voice of the
character/object still carries on
When katniss turns around we can hear the interviewer
talking but the camera is on katniss instead.
8. Sound perspective
When we can tell if the sound is placed either near or
far or coming from particular places.
We can hear different sound perspectives from he
audience near and far.
We would be able to tell that there are loads of people
as we can tell from the distance when thy cheer.
9. Sound effects
They have edited the sound effects of the echo’s when
the interview was speaking.
As we wouldn’t be able to hear how other people would
be hearing, so they have fixed that as if she cannot
hear anything, the volume would be very low, and
echoic (naturalistic)
10. Sound effect & Foley
When the dress turns around and makes a swoosh
sounds (un-naturalistic)
The sound of the fire (naturalistic) would also be
sound effects and Foley to hear the sound of fire on
her dress
