Camera Terminolgy and Sound. Neset and Pearl



Diegetic: Sound from within the film world/ sound that the characters can hear. 




  • Direct Sound
  • Foley Sound
  • Score and Soundtrack
  • Parallel and contrapuntal sound
  • Parallel - When the music goes with the images, e.g dramatic music in a fight scene. Contrapuntal - When the music goes against the images e.g sombre music over a fight scene. 
  • Sound Bridges 
Suicide Squad : In the introduction of the character Harley Quinn we first see extreme close ups of the main character this is so that we can see the characters truth emotion . Another thing we pick up that the lightning is quite artificial which makes the room dark and gloomy this then creates suspense for the audience. There is a clear is shot reverse shot between the two characters , this could be the introduction to a new character , because its showing they are having a conversation . Another thing that could create suspense and build up tension is the clear establishing shot at the beginning showing a clear visual of a dark and misty gate way this could be empathising the gate ways of hell , the way the whole thing is set in the dark could illustrate that Harley Quinn is a evil character. Its even shot at a low angle establishing the importance of the gates because the camera is tracking the gates to a high view this could show that they have a very high importance.







We have taken a particular part of the clip where there is a close up and a high angle of the main character in doing so this could show the character vulnerability , this close up takes up the majority of the frame so its shows a clear importance of the frame , the fact that the shot is taken with her head facing upwards it could portray that she inferior to something , the camera wanted to pick up the emotion she was expressing , the high angle shows that the joker is more powerful than Harley Quinn it shows a contrast.




Here is an example of an extreme close up and shallow depth of field this could show the characters real emotion and mood and make the audience feel vulnerable , the background being blurred makes the character the complete point of focus , also the black background emphasise the darkness of the character called the "joker" .The camera angle almost makes it look surreal .   
In this introduction clip , the sound that is played is called parallel sound because the sound is moving alongside with the images that are being shown , the sound slowly builds up tension . Before the non diegetic sound is played a voice over is added , which could be known as an induction to the character being shown .
