Task 2: Moving Image Soundtrack report:
GODFATHER-Michael shoots Sollozo and McCluskey:
The scene in the GodFather of when Michael shoots Sollozo and McCluskey shows a lot of things in the sound track that match the action of the scene and this makes the scene more dynamic and not straight forward.These sounds of the scene play a big part in making the scene stand out and create tension to let the audience anticipate what is about to happen and how that makes them feel and how that makes the characters feel.The use of the sounds make the scene more interesting and creates tension and uses a range of sound techniques,and this is accompanied by the naturalistic dialogue of the conversation between Michael,Sollozo and McCluskey as their conversation are not simply just functional dialogue,and because of this we see the concern on Michaels face as we realise that he has to shoot Sollozo and McCluskey and the tension rises as
Michael then goes to the toilet and we begin to hear what at first seems to be an ambient sound of the train passing by but as Michael begins to look for the gun that sound gradually gets louder at 3:38 and becomes hyper-real as he goes back to sit with Sollozo and McCluskey and the sound of the train becomes very loud to the point that it is unrealistic at 4:36 and this is done to represent possibly the tension and pressure in the mind of Michael as he then comes to his breaking point which is represent by the loud hyper-real sound of the train and then shoots Sollozo and McCluskey.The sound of the train was proved to be Non-diagetic as we do not see the sound of the train but it becomes apparent to us that it later represents something in the scene.At first we believe that it is simply just background noise when Michael is in the toilet and near the window,but we then begin to realise that the sound of the train is their to represent the pressure and speed of thoughts that are running through the mind of Michael as he realises that he has to act quickly and kill Sollozo and McCluskey immediately.
The sound effects of the gunshots from Michael were Naturalistic and they were done to the normal sound of a gunshot.They were loud and this was done to make the scene more realistic and accurate as it would be strange to make the gunshot quite or too loud and making the gunshot loud but not overly loud made the sound effect naturalistic.At the end of the scene when Michael leaves the restaurant after killing Sollozo and McCluskey,there is a sound bridge as a sound of triumph loudly comes by 4:56 as the scene passes on to the next one and this is done to shown a symbol of victory for Michael as he accomplishes his duty of killing Sollozo and McCluskey.
Children Of Men-Car Scene: The Children of men car scene shows different types of soundtrack techniques used and this makes the scene in the car creates more tension and makes the scene more dynamic.The scene is full of naturalistic dialogue between everyone in the car whilst playing games and this is accompanied by the diegetic sound of the radio playing what sounds to be country music and this makes the feel and tone of the scene at this point fairly relax and what seems to be a relatively good mood and this makes the audience not anticipate anything at this point in the scene as everything seems to be normal and relaxed for now.However when the mob comes we hear the use of diegetic sounds of screaming and shouting and the sound of objects being thrown and smashed against the car and this creates emotional realism and makes the scene realistic and this is because the audience now has an emotional connection with the characters as they know that the characters that they are supporting in the film are now in a crucial situation which has caused danger to their lives.The country music in the car is heard at the start of the scene till the end of the scene and makes the sound of the country music from the radio realistic due to the fact that despite all the action that begins in the scene,the music is still playing and this makes the scene realistic because the music would not simply stop playing by itself and it is clear that with the action going on,nobody turns off the radio in the car.The music drains out at times with the louder action of the mob and motorcycle taking over but never goes away as it is heard faintly again at some points during the action and at the end of the scene when they drive off.
When the action begins in the scene it can be said that some of the sounds are anti-naturalistic.At 1:36 The sounds of the mob first attacking the car and throwing objects at it could be seen as anti-naturalistic because the sounds are much more quiet than they would be in real life,when in reality those sounds would be much louder and therefore takes away the realism in the scene as things such as julianne's blood spilling seem to sound more loud than an angry mob which is not realistic.With the action continuing we notice that when Julianne is shot at 2:01 the gun shot is nowhere near as loud as one in real life and this makes the sound of the gun shot anti-naturalistic because it is much more quiet then a gunshot sound in real life.However there is a constant ringing sound after the gunshot which does create a sense of realism due to the fact that when we hear loud sounds,sometimes we can hear a ringing sound in our ears for lengthy time periods,so this use of ringing after the gunshot in this scene was naturalistic.We notice the realism in the use of the radio when the scene ends due to the fact that the camera leaves the car when Theo leaves the car but does not come back in when he does meaning that the audience are now outside of the car and realistically should no longer hear the sound of the radio which is what does happen.As the scene closes and they drive off the sound of the country music from the radio drowns and goes away showing the realistic style used for the music as it does not turn off during the start of the scene,throughout the action and only until the audience are no longer with the characters.
Michael then goes to the toilet and we begin to hear what at first seems to be an ambient sound of the train passing by but as Michael begins to look for the gun that sound gradually gets louder at 3:38 and becomes hyper-real as he goes back to sit with Sollozo and McCluskey and the sound of the train becomes very loud to the point that it is unrealistic at 4:36 and this is done to represent possibly the tension and pressure in the mind of Michael as he then comes to his breaking point which is represent by the loud hyper-real sound of the train and then shoots Sollozo and McCluskey.The sound of the train was proved to be Non-diagetic as we do not see the sound of the train but it becomes apparent to us that it later represents something in the scene.At first we believe that it is simply just background noise when Michael is in the toilet and near the window,but we then begin to realise that the sound of the train is their to represent the pressure and speed of thoughts that are running through the mind of Michael as he realises that he has to act quickly and kill Sollozo and McCluskey immediately.
