Document Summary
There was always sound in film, but not dialogue. Image of film has always come at the audience with sound o. Ex: orchestra playing along with film, allefax (sound machine that could produce up to 750 sounds) Oral elements of motion picture: verbal: a. b. c. dialogue/spoken words singing. Authoritative voice (tells audience what they are watching: music a. b. c. No other art form or medium uses silence as much as film. Usually the most climactic/important moment of the film uses silence. Synchronous relationship between image & sound (i. e. lips moving & words coming out: asynchronous sound. Ex: image = man running, sound = cows mooing (irony) Not everything has to be said in the image; let the image say one thing, & the soundtrack say another. Sounds create a movement or passage (ex: sound of music intro) One sound following another sound as a parallel (reinforcing the other sounds)
