Research On Sound

Different types of sounds used in media.

Sound and music are a common thing that is an essential to most films. It has been noted that even in early times of the film industry even silent films still had some type of sound contributed to it. The sound is very beneficial in films it helps identify the imaginary world, it can provide and give an audience hints to know a character's mood or if an environment is bad or not. In addition, sound allows viewers to identify these type of things and seek out important information in films.

Diegetic Sound

 What is a Diegetic sound?

Diegetic sound is a sound that only the characters on the screen can hear, thus making the sound of one character talking to another a diegetic sound.

 What is a Non-Diegetic sound?

A Non-Diegetic sound is the opposite of a Diegetic sound it is a sound that the audience can hear but the characters can not. Any music in the background is an example of a non-digetic sound  it just adds to scenery and atmosphere it is not something the characters are supposed to hear.


Another different type of sound:

Non-simultaneous

What is Non-simultaneous sound?

A non-simultaneous sound is a sound that performs early in the story, earlier than an image in a film. This type of sound can help the viewers gain information about the film without even watching the scenes take place. See how sound is very valuable. Good sound is key to a good production.

What is Lighting? (Research on my role)

What is lighting?

There is many different lights that are involved in film and television productions. I have decided to take the time out to research different lighting and sounds that are involved in my role and also in the studio provided for us.

What is lighting used for?

Lighting is used mainly to help enhance an atmosphere, mood and even to add to a scenario to build suspense. Overall it is mostly used to make a set stand out, look professional and clear.

 Key Lighting 

You have your key lighting which is known to be one of the important lights that a camera person uses. Its main purpose is to highlight the main object. It is normally combined with a 3-point setup, which also includes a backlight and an additional light to add more focus on an object.

Fill lighting 

  The fill light is similar to the key lighting as it also uses a 3-point set up, and its function is to decrease contrast and shadows around an item and a subject. It does this by being positioned at a different angle to the main key light. It is normally delicate and softer than the key light.

High key lighting

High key lighting decreases the amount of contrast due to the fact that the lighting is very powerful. This creates a pleasant and jolly feeling in the video or picture.

<-- An example a picture taken in high key lighting as you can see the lighting is very powerful and you capture almost everything in the picture. 

This is the type of lighting I am choosing for my magazine show as it would just give my show a clear appearance that would look quite professional to my viewers.

Skim Lighting 

What Skim lighting does is send light rays at a deep angle across an illuminated surface, This throws any surface abnormalities into high relief, making the texture highlighted. Skim lighting is known to have a very powerful visual effect with focused beams of lights.

SCRIPT FOR MY OUTSIDER BROADCASTER ROLE

Script

Wehlia: Moving on to our next story, would you ever think to see a five-foot long python in a pond, well think again we are going live now from Southside shopping centre where Preaya will tell us the incident which had happened near and beside St George’s Park over to you Preaya

Preaya: Hey Wehlia as you can see there is a lot to talk about! Yesterday near St George’s Park right behind me was where this incident had happened where we saw a 5ft long python  floating in the pond. Reports say that people thought the python was a long branch it was not until they saw the python slithering out of the water. 

Here is a witness who investigated the pond and discovered that there was a python floating in the water.

Preaya: What happened to lead you to find this python?

Hero: Well i was just eating my lunch on the bench beside the pond and I saw something that looked like a very thick branch and it even resembled a thick wire when I looked to inspect the water I saw its head pop out of the water and realised this wasn't a branch it was a python that was dead which started to float. After I reported this to the police animal control came and took the python out of the water and the body is now being disposed and handle by the RSPCA.

Here is an  another person who witnessed this snake whilst it was being captured by Animal control

Person: The Python was huge I have never seen one so big.

Person: Its crazy I just wonder how it got there and how long it has remained there for

Person: Its a good thing they found it I mean who knows imagine if it was alive.

Well overall its a good thing that this snake has been captured and has received the proper burial it needs, well this has been quite the extraordinary story, at the end of the day its a good thing that everything has been done and people can now go back to being safe and eating and being around the pond. Now back to Wehlia in the studio. 

*Update*

This script had to be altered, due to the fact that we had some difficulties finding people to act as the witness. In the end we only got one person to act as the witness. So in the final edit you will see some changes in the script. Just thought I should notify that. 

DEAR DIARY / SCRIPT FOR MY ROLE.

Dear Diary,

My role is to be an outside broadcaster, so I have been asked to create a script and, at least, interview two people about a particular subject.

I hoping that today I can revise my role and see what things are said in typical shows such as good morning Britain when an outsider broadcaster is present. I am also hoping to use today as the time where i can start creating, finishing and forming my script.

RISK ASSESSMENT - STUDIO PROJECT UNIT 5.6.7

In my project, I had to ensure that I have a health and safety risk assessment before starting on the production of my magazine show. Stating all the potential hazards that could occur once in the production phase and how we could prevent them from happening.

Dear Diary

Today I have been focusing on my new project which is to make a studio magazine show.

The criteria is that it has to be

• No more than 20 minutes long 
• Must include one music act (that my tutor chooses)
• Must include weather and news 
• Have two presenters ( One male & female)
• Must have some interviews 
• Ensure that you make your own individual edits of it
• Has to have some sort of advertisement in the show (Any)
• Show must have some sort of game show

My role is that I'm going to be in charge of studio lighting and sound, I will also be an outside broadcaster. I'm looking forward to my role and have decided that I'm going to be revising and researching my role just to see how it is approached on theses particular shows. Such as good morning Britain, and breakfast. 

I don't find my role challenging if anything I find my role something that could be easily accomplished without any struggles. 

I already completed folder work which includes my proposal and I look forward to completing and doing my individual edit of this project.

STUDIO TOUR - INTRODUCTION

These are the  different types of equipment you can use in the television studio and pictures are provided so you can see the equipment.

<-- This is the analog sound desk which controls the different levels of voices and instruments, you can enhance the voices and adjust here for different sounds.

This is the lighting desk where you can turn lights on and off and dim them according to how you want it to appear in the studio.

 <-- This the studio's lighting and it is used to enhance the look of the studio to make it appear brighter. The studio lighting is also used to make the green screen bright enough to function a good picture.

This is the talkback system this allows the director or assistant director to communicate to the floor manager.

This is the camera which is commonly used to shoot things around the studio. The handles on the camera are used to help rotate the camera if needed. Also, you have a focus and zoom function on the camera, which makes the camera person have the ability to zoom out or in when necessary and to make the picture look focused.
