Type of sound and Music used in Teen film openings

Sound used in teen film openings

 

 

All films use sound to accompany the footage as it makes the audience relate better to the movie and encourage the audience to feel a certain emotion during the moment of the movie.

 

The type of sound that could be found in teen film opening are:

 

Dialogue, which is sound that is originally on the footage of the movie, it is not added into the movie in post production. This sound is used so that the audience know what is going on in the scene and can understand the action.

 

Foley sound, which is non diegetic sound added in a later process of making the film, normally in post production. This sound is added to underline important sound in the movie that may have been lost in the filming of the movie e.g. the sound of heels. Foley sound can make this more defined and underline the atmosphere of the scene.

 

 

This is an example of how Foley sound is used within a movie to emphasise the action.  

 

 

Background Sound or background music. This is also non diegetic sound added in the later post production process of editing. This type of sound is very powerful, it can completely alter the mood or pace of a specific scene.  

 

It is important when choosing sound that you relate it well to the mood or action of the movie.

 

For example, if you are filming for a teenage movie and the action in the film is people dancing in a club you will use music which will reflect the situation and make the audience get engaged in the scene.
