Analyses the Techniques and Theories Involved in Film Music and Sound

Introduction

The paper discusses about the techniques as well as theories that are employed in the analysis of film music and sound. It focuses on the music in the concept of film making. The paper also highlights the various aspects of sound and music usage in film making and attempts to encompass all aspects of sound and music in film making in a comprehensive manner.

Discussion

he art of music is divided into several branches one of the most important is the music theory that comes from musical sun signs and, which formerly was called sun and me, it is then called in music theory as art these days to accurately measure and tone giving each sign their own name (Buckland, 2009). As the signs have the same placement on the staff, is determine it through a sign placed at the beginning of the staff or score, and is called "Key" are several keys that are used through time and now, for now we will study the two most important. The music played live in the room, which accompanied the first films, music was called pit (Manchel, 2001). In general, the goal was with this music "reflect the atmosphere of the scene in the spirit of the listener and encourage more easily and intensely at the viewer changing emotions of the story in images (Dickinsonm, 2003)." In addition, fulfilled the role of covering the influence of distracting noise in the appreciation of film (for example, projecting noise, external noise, public talks, etc..). Finally, there was, thanks music pit, the advantage of breaking daily temporality, born cinematic rendering time (Wierzbicki, 2009).

The synchronization word comes from the Greek preposition that means syn with, together. The audiovisual sync forced the film to set the speed of recording and reading of your images, becoming an art film (fixed movement) to an art chronograph (time fixed). This has the effect of the birth of absolute time values ??and, in short, film speed stabilized and amplified sound recording and synchronized (Manchel, 2001). The material causes of these developments are in the invention of electric amplification, and the continuous improvement of procedures for sound recording (Buckland, 2009). The following list specifies the procedures known at the time:

Sound on Disc (Occupied by Warner for feature films quickly shelved by their discomfort)

Sound on Film (Invented by Forrest Lee U.S., the sound falls on a punched tape, allowing easy assembly)

Fox Case System (invented by William Fox, a variation of Sound on Film)

Vitaphone (He begins to occupy in 1926, and marked as William H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America) (Wierzbicki, 2009).

Speaking of movies, using visual terms, not yet feasible envisioning the film, as there is a precise language, terminology that allows us plenty of positive verbal communication. But talk about movies using auditory terms must involve a number of risks, motivated by the lack of terminological ...
