Sounds in movies vs what they actually are

Sounds in movies vs what they actually are - #7

Sounds are used in film all the time, but are not always created equally. For example, the sound of footsteps may not be actually happening during the shooting of a scene, but rather the sound that is used is in a sound laboratory. In this post, I will dive into how sound is created versus how it is used.

In my opening sequence, I would like to incorporate the use of the foley sound as it may help me earn some points on the final assessment. Some examples I could use of these could be footsteps, raindrops, or even the sound of boxing gloves hitting a target. This would be important to use in my project, as it adds more intricacy and complexion.

As I stated before, foley sound can be used during events of a scene but it can also be used for background noise such as raindrops. There are many ways the sound of rain can be recreated. For example, in a bathtub with water dripping from the showerhead, frying something in oil, or tapping fingers on a desk.

Overall, foley sound would be a great element to add to my final project to earn some points and it would also use sound more uniquely and interestingly. Whether that would be to let the shower run slowly or tap my fingers on a desk, sound can be created in many different ways.

Settings to Consider - #4

When creating a film, it is always important to identify the setting, or multiple settings. This is because it will help to match the event to when and where it is taking place. Since my film will be about a teenager who learns how to box, there should definitely be a boxing gym used at some point in the film. The location should also be clean and organized as well. It should also include an exterior setting, which may showcase how the characters interact with each other more openly, and at certain times of the day. A great exterior setting to use would be around the neighborhood, because it is an easy place to go out and film at and there is a lot of space for different types of camera shots. There may be some parts of the film that need to be filmed at night, or during the day, and this can be greatly demonstrated using the natural lighting of the sun. The location of the final battle should be noted as it may be included in the opening. This is because I believe that tying

Genre History - #2

Since my project will be a sports drama, I needed to do some research on the genre's history to gain more info. To start off, the Sports genre began with Charlie Chaplin's 'The Champion' (1915), which is a boxing silent film. The drama genre has more confusing beginnings however, since it was said to have originated in Greece as an evolution of religious ritual. Around the same time however, the Sanskrit Indian Prakarana arose, which is a play that consisted of five acts. This may have been regarded to spreading the genre of drama in the east, the same way Greece did in the west. As I've said before, 'The Champion' was the very first sports film. However, this was only a silent film which came around during the silent film era. Meaning that there was no real dialogue or important sounds which could influence the meaning of the film. A much more popular sports film that came later was Rocky (1976) starring Sylvester Stallone. Rocky has also remained a cultu
