AUDIO BASICS - 6TH CLASS

Audio and microphonesSound - has purpose, is organized, is wanted
Noise - essentially random, typically unwanted

•Clean, clear, consistent, coherent

•All connected to reducing noise, acquiring sound

•Literal sounds

–Convey a specific literal meaning–Help tell the story by connecting to on-screen visuals

•Even if speaker leaves scene but you still hear voice its connected

–For example, teacher talking and student responding

•Non-literal sounds

–Not intended to convey literal meaning–Are deliberately disconnected from on-screen visuals–For example, most musical accompaniment

•Direct address- Speaker speaks directly to viewer–Talking head–Primarily used to provide information

•Dialogue–Two or more people–Primarily used to communicate theme via question and answer –Interview skills required

•Narration–Supplies additional information/material–Describes screen event or bridges gap for continuity–Often off-screen voice-over–Typically spoken word
