The sound sequence includes a person who sits in a room and hears "mysterious" noises within the room. This sequence was chosen as it was an easy way to showcase all of the different types of sound.
During the introduction non-diegetic music was played. This was in the form of a musical soundtrack. This can indicate how the audience is supposed to feel.
Next is a series of diegetic noises.
Firstly, there is an on-screen sound of the door violently slamming. Secondly, there is an off-screen of banging. The off-screen sounds continue as there is a non-diegetic laugh as the character reads the writing on the board. After this, the diegetic on-screen sound of the door lock being broken is used. This enhances the noise and draws the attention of the audience to think what will happen next. Once the door is opened the camera seems to black out and there is a numerous amount of off-screen sounds. This enables the extension of the diegetic sounds.
Due to the fact that we tested the mic all of our sound was correctly recorded. In our sound exercise we were able to correctly differentiate diegetic and non diegetic sounds as well as on screen and off screen sounds. However, all of the sounds in our exercise were parallel noises; and there was no sound bridge involved.
Overall, the sound was recorded correctly and we were able to demonstrate the correct ways of filming different sound techniques.
Improvements:
We then see a person who is sitting calmly enjoying her music. If there was happy music playing during this time it could have been seen as a contrapuntal as her mood does not match what is about to happen. To add on to that we could have featured someone in the corridor listening to the same sound to create a sound bridge.
