Audio

 Audio is one of the most important features in film. As my TV production teacher says “Audio is everything!” The soundscape of a film is what truly immerses the audience watching, transporting them to the setting of the story. 

In my film opening one type of sound I will definitely be including is nondiegetic sound. Non-diegetic sound refers to any sound that doesn’t belong in the narrative world, for example, background music. 

Our film opening will primarily be driven by background music. We plan to start with a slow melodic song as our main character mundanely shops for groceries. Then we plan to transition to a faster paced song that crescendos when the planet comes into view. 

Synchronous sound will also be implemented to keep a sense of place during the story. Synchronous sound refers to the sound that the viewer can hear, which is synchronized with the visuals. We will utilize it so audiences can also hear the environment and certain background noises that are relevant to the film. 

Regarding our background music we have currently sent messages to various artists for permission using their works. Here is a picture: 

Something exciting is that we have already gained permission from a few artists! Yay!!!

That's all for this blog post. See you next time!
