Find our five master edits with sound here.
LEITMOTIF: For our example of leitmotif, Kiley and I included a sound bridge. A sound bridge occurs when sound is carried over a visual transition in a film. We used this to depict a leitmotif because we used multiple scenes showing people drinking water and a water fountain. Adding the sound of trickling water in the background shows the common theme of water occurring throughout, which shows a connection between the two concepts.
PARALLELISM: To depict parallelism, we used post synchronization dubbing and diegetic sound. Post synchronous sounds place emphasis on the characters and makes a much more realistic ambiance, and it's the same case for diegetic sound. We added the sound of leaves crunching as Kiley and I walked past the screen as this placed an emphasis on us walking.
CONTRAST: We used post synchronization dubbing for our contrast scene as well, where we added the sound of crickets and then the sound of a loud hallway. Regardless of the fact that crickets would not often be found in an empty hallway, the sound of crickets often represents silence. We added the sounds of a bustling hallway to further emphasize the sounds heard during passing period. These scenes contrast one another in that the hallway is painfully silent while students are in classes, and lively and energetic during the passing period.
SIMULTANEITY: We used direct sound for our simultaneity scene, as this showed the reality of what was happening during a Lely lunch period. In a way, this allows the viewer to truly feel as though they are there.
SYMBOLISM: We added triumphant music for our symbolism edit as the "L" in a Lely Varsity letter fades out into the L in "Lely Trojans." This shows Lely's pride and triumphant energy.
Overall, this sound allows the mood of our video to change constantly. However, watching this as a viewer genuinely keeps me on the edge of my seat and the ongoing upbeat music and sound creates a positive aura for the overall video.
