20.10.08 Lesson: Understanding Sound and Music

You will need to refer to your sound and music notes to complete the following:

1. Watch this clip and take notes on ALL of the sound and music techniques that you expect to be used. List these - each sound or piece of music will form an individual layer.

2. Take notes of timing of cuts and when you expect sound / music to begin. Write these down.

3. Use your power of analysis and interpretation to work out what might be said in the dialogue.

4. In Garageband, create the sound and music for this clip. Then export this to iTunes/CD and import it to your iMovie file, underneath the visual extract.




Once you have done all of this, you will have learned about how sound and music are used in TV Dramas, with a strong focus on how to create and support representation and meaning-making.

You will have actually contributed to the diegisis to ensure that the verisimilitude remains intact.
