Following the link below will take you to a quick podcast that myself and Emma created in one of our Education Futures seminars.
I'm not the most dramatical of people so I've never particularly enjoyed talking in front of people but I really enjoyed making this! It was very easy to make and turned out to be quite effective, even though we were just have a fiddle around with it.
The importance of Sound
When people think about the films they see, they often don't even think about the sound they heard whilst watching and forget how the subtle changes in backing tracks and voice tone actually changes how they feel during different scenes or different movie.
For example, imagine a horror film with happy music instead of that creepy music we associate with them.. I'm sure we wouldn't be half as frightened if it wasn't for this music or the creepy voice and sound effects that are added. Of course, the visuals in a film play a huge role in provoking various emotions in us, simply from lighting effects; camera angles etc. However, music; sound effects and voice tone conjure up ideas; memories; images; and emotions in our mind and radically change our perceptions of the visual imagery we are seeing.
Check out these videos below and whilst playing, close your eyes and think about what images are being conjured up in your mind and think about how this music is making you feel.
Now, give this video a listen and do the same.. close your eyes and just see what you feel and think.
For me, the first two soundtracks makes me feel anxious; worried and slightly disturbed whilst the second is quite fun and happy.
