The creation and Use of Sound In media

🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛🎷🐛

 For the second nested unit you will be required to create a podcast, using your own original article

This Podcast focuses on your creation and use of sounds

Sound within different media industries:
Film- Entertain
Fiction/ non fiction TV programmes- Educate/ inform/ entertain
Computer games- Entertain
Animation-Entertain
Audio visual advertisements- promote/ sell
Radio Drama- Entertain

Wild track: Audio recording intended to synchronise with the video, but recorded separately. this is recorded OUTSIDE

Atmospheric Sounds: also known as ambient sound, refers to the background noise present at a given scene or a location

Sound effects: these are artificially produced to emphasise content

Dialogue/ speech; Conversation  between two or more people/ Individuals spoken words

Music: Theme tune, incidental music

all sound created and included within media products has been done so far for a reason!

In terms of enhancing visuals it:

  • Creates tension
  • Reinforces genre/ convention
  • Establishes mood
  • establishes time/ location
  • Enhance characterisation

There can also be
  • A purpose use of silence
Ultimately there is always
  • An effect on the audience 

Foley sound: The reproduction of everyday sound effects that are added to films, video and other media in post production, to enhance audio quality. Theses are recorded inside using props

Equipment= Microphones, headphones, radio microphones, boom poles, windshields, vocal both sound effects props

Techniques= Microphones placement, setting levels use of ambient sound

Sound compression- downward and upward compression
sound compression is when you reduce the volume of loud sound (downward) or amplify quiet sounds (upwards) therefore reducing or compressing an audio signals dynamic range

Size verses quality- Lossy Vs Lossless

Life of Pi

 Foley sound: Sound of the fish flying and slapping them in the face, Waves

Wild track- The tiger sound

Speech- When the man gasps and screams


The effects of the different sound elements ensure that the sound is heard. Foley sound is used when making the sound of the waves to make it more prominent. Also the use of a soundtrack when the first fish is shown builds up tension therefore making the audience suspicious about what is about two happen. A wild track is used to create the tiger noise to make the sound louder and more ambient.

I exported my Foley work in 4 different ways. M4A, MP3, AIF, WAVE. These are the names of the different ways to export the sound files. This is so when I listen back I can understand what the best quality sport it is therefore when I make the podcast I know what will give the best quality.
