SOUND FOR THE SCREEN SUMMARY

Revisit your earlier blog posts about sound. What are 3 things you you learned during the course of this unit? What did you learn about them? Explain in detail. What are two things that you still feel you need to learn more about? Why? What was one thing that you found the most interesting? Why?

Three things I learned from this unit is the importance of the score, Foley effects, and different mic pickup patterns. The score is the music that is made in post production for a film. There are many components to the score such as melody, harmony, and rhythm. Melody is like a motif. It recalls back to a certain setting or character. Such as the movie Up. It has a specific upbeat melody at the beginning but as the scene gets sad, the melody slows down and triggers the viewers' memory about a certain character that has passed away. Harmony appeals to emotions and rhythm hypes up the scene or makes it tense. Foley effects are sound effects made by Foley artists with everyday objects while watching a playback of a scene. It is all done in post production. Mic pickup patterns are how mics perceive sound. Some mics pick it up in a heart shaped pattern called a cardioid pattern. Others are omnidirectional.
