Sound Project

• Why is sound or the lack of sound so important to a scene in a film?  What kind of messages can it send an audience? 
• The sound or lack of sound can greatly impact the mood of the scene in a film. Like silence can increase tension and enhance visuals in a scene. 

• Explain why it was or was not difficult to come up with sound ideas for a story that would not have visuals for the audience to see. 
• It was not difficult to come up with sound ideas because sound can help tell a story in a scene. 

• Explain weather you believe or do not believe that your group was able to create a sound story that the audience would be able to understand by just listening to the sounds that were chosen.  What was the story you created and how did the sounds bring the story to life?
•   Our story was about someone getting ready to go to school. We emphasized this aspect by adding a sound of yawning, brushing teeth, and taking a shower. By this i think the audience with be able to understand this scene even without sound.

 

Movie Rating

 Expert- The story is interesting and draws you in with its creative energy. In the movie Scott Pilgrim there was never a dull moment like during the fights with the seven evil exes.  It has smooth transitions and very upbeat music that keeps you on edge. For example at the end when school pilgrim was fighting the final boss. The actors are always into character and are always a joy to watch. It is also known for their amazing camera work and awesome animated transitions. The movie was very high quality and entertaining I would give it a rating of 80/80.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World

 Scene 1: In this scene Scott (main character) is dating a girl named Knives Chau and is going to Scotts band meeting. Scott is a 22-year-old guitarist with a passion for music and his band. This scene shows Knives shocked and zooming into her face slowly while the band plays the music intensely. This may leave the audience feeling shocked about what she may say next with this extreme expression on her face. The zoom in this case shows the camera lens moving closer but the camera is staying in the same place. This could sometimes also give the viewers a sense of paranoia or make them feel claustrophobic.  If not, it can also bring objects at a distance closer to the lens or show size and perspective. Knives later expresses how overly excited she is for their next performance which helps ease the viewers relief and cheers them on.

       

Scene 2: In this scene Scott dreams about this girl rollerblading after feeling lost. He later sees her at a party and talks to her more. She gives him her number and tells him to hang out later. The transitions in this scene leave you feeling lost and wondering who this girl is. This scene also transitions to a low angle shot of this mysterious girl (Ramona Flowers). A low angle shot helps the character refer closer, larger, and taller. This helps emphasize how important the character is to the movie. After this is shows the quick transition of him waking up from his nap in a hurry. This is a close of his face with a quite distressed look on his face. The next day she stood up at his door with his package waiting. They get to meet each other and talk about their past with one another.

Scene 3: In this scene Scott learns Ramona has 7 exes. He discovers to date Ramona; he must defeat her “seven deadly exes.”  Scott already defeats one named Mathew Patel. When fighting Mathew there were many medium close ups used in this scene. In medium close-up shots it helps capture facial expression and body language. The medium close shot help capture Scotts serious facial expressions help capture the intense emotion of the scene. Later in the scene it shows, an extreme camera shot by showing the coins dropping and focuses on only the coins. Filmmakers used extreme close-up shots to highlight an important detail you would not see otherwise. This helps the filmmaker show what they want you to focus on. The coins dropping resembles the defeat of Mathew Patel Scott caused in this scene. 

Bonus scene (4); Scott defeats all 7 deadly exes and tells Ramona and Knives how he cheated on them. They both forgive him, and Knives lets him go with Ramona; after trying so long to keep them apart. This scene shows two shots used to show emotional reactions between the two subjects. These two shots help show their relationship after they walk off through an ominous door together. 

My Movie Scenes

    5th scene: For this scene I used a full body shot (FS) to emphasize important body language. In this scene Peppa is sitting down while talking to Hunter. Do you forgive me now says Peppa. Of course I do says Hunter. the two quickly catch up on what they missed from years ago. They play cards and become best of friends like they used to.

       4th Scene: For this scene I used medium close up shot (MCU) to show partial view of the background. In this scene Peppa shows Hunter what he's been searching for, for years. How did you get that hunter says. Ive kept onto this for years just to give it back to you after what happened. Hunter looks at Peppa with guilt in his eyes "I'm sorry" he says. Peppa forgives him after handing it back to him.

       3rd scene: For this scene I used a close up shot (CU) to frame hunters face in greater detail. There is a lot of hostility in the air as shown in the video. Hunter is not too fond of Peppa and hisses at him. What happened to us Peppa is now thinking as Hunter squints his eyes at him. Hunter snarls and growls with a tense expression on his face. You know what you did what you took from me Hunter says.

        

 2nd scene: For the next scene I used an Extreme close up (ECU) to show the tension and extreme emotional detail. Out of the corner of Peppa eye he spots something strange. A bush moving.. rustling. Hunter suddenly appears growling. Peppa is confused on what happened to his friend Hunter. They find themselves in a showoff.

1st scene: For this scene I used a wide shot (WS) to show important background language and to focus on the scenery. In this scene the character was looking for his long lost friend. This action of the character moving around and scanning around shows this. This character is named Peppa looking for another that's named Hunter. This quickly turns into a friends to foes situation.
