Analysis Reflection #4 Question #1

In this clip there are 3 types of sound: music, stock effects, and sync sound. During the dramatisations music and sound effects make up the soundscape, where the sound effects match actions on screen.

The sound effects are generic ones that sound as if they were taken from a library of stock sounds – the same for the music – particularly the glittery sound effect. The music – with the lyrics in subtitles – is likewise generic romantic music. Both the music and sounds act to parody the actions on screen by accompanying them.

All of the dialogue in the clip is the sync sound recorded with the camera in the interviews and footage of the three subjects. Other footage is then layered on top of this. The audio here would have been recorded with a shotgun microphone as no microphones are visible.
