Describe each of the three basic categories of sound

Question

• Describe each of the three basic categories of sound (dialogue, sound effects, and music).
• Explain how the different categories of sound are being used in your chosen film.
  • Assess the impact of sound in establishing the theme.
  • How does the use of sound inform the mood of the scene, or the film overall?
  • Can you identify specific sounds in your film that allow you to infer a particular genre?
  • Since each category of sound may produce a range of effects, how might you characterize the effects in your film? For example, realistic and expected sound effects may have a different effect on a viewer than exaggerated or unexpected ones.
• Assess how the scene or sequence would play differently if you changed or removed a key category of sound.
