Document Summary

Image track: the visual component of a film (what appears on the screen) Sound track (audio track): audio component of a sound film. Heard by characters (diegetic or source music) or only heard by audience (nondiegetic/underscoring) Narrative films: films that tell a story through actions and interactions of characters. Realism: while (cid:373)a(cid:374)(cid:455) of us (cid:449)ill (cid:271)(cid:396)ush off a fil(cid:373) that does(cid:374)"t feel (cid:862)(cid:396)eal(cid:863) (cid:894)that does not make sense), the reality of the film is often different from actual reality. Film makers often prioritize clarity of narrative over fidelity, both in the telling of the story and in the musical components. Clarity: (what we focus on) aesthetic priority favoring the films construction of a world that makes sense to us rather one that is faithful as possible to the real world opposed to fidelity. Fidelity: the principle of recording how something actually sounds.
