On the 5th of january we had a soundtrack tutorial, we were asked to firstly add different effects to pictures on james bond's casino royal. We were given a series of photos; a casino, a river, and a busy street. We then had to decide which sound effects went with them. We then had a short sequence of a segment of the film, it had no sound, and we were given various sound clips and were asked to place them where necissary. I think everybody enjoyed this exercise as it was our first lesson exploring sound and i personally didn't realize just how many sound clips you need in such a short seuquence. When your watching the film, you assume the only sound is the soundtrack, we had to select all different things like; cars exploding, police sirens, grunting of the men fighting, running, and cars skidding. This was something all needed to learn as it showed us without the sound and music theres no suspense nor tension created, its also not very interesting and does not display the meaning properly, it allowed us to explore in depth how the people behind the editing use diagetic and non-diagetic sounds and also allowed us to explore them in depth for ourselves.
