4 Intro To Sound Level 1 Film Technology Narration –Usually used in documentary –Can also be used as a story device to put across a characters inner feelings –For documentary quite often recorded in sync to the picture from a timed script –‘Voice Of God’ approach where the voice is disconnected from the rest of the programme –Or recorded as an integral part to match presenters or on screen personalities

5 Intro To Sound Level 1 Film Technology Music –Mood music is used to encourage certain emotions –Theme music for specific characters –Custom score –Production music –Is music required at all?

6 Intro To Sound Level 1 Film Technology Foley –The process of recreating sound effects that are synchronised with the on screen action –Usually involves recreating actors movement footsteps and interaction with objects in the scene –Huge variety of props and tools, including Foley pit, clothing and material and shoes and boots to mimic actors costumes
