Sound (contrapuntal, parallel and sound bridge)

Sound (contrapuntal, parallel and sound bridge)


Contrapuntal sound is where the sounds or music used contrast with the film or movie clip it has been inserted into. Its sound that does not fit in with the events happening. We could use this within our thriller as I think it would create confusion and disorientate the audience into thinking something else, we could use the music to create a twist. Parallel sound matches the action made on screen and can also be called synchronous sound, I think the majority of our thriller will contain this, especially if we choose to use a lot of dialogue. We could also add in scary music that reflects the emotion on screen. The Dark Knight and many other thrillers we watched used parallel sound.  I would like to include a sound bridge within our thriller also; this is sound (music dialogue or narration) running through two shots with a cut. I think it would look professional adding a sound bridge into our thriller and we can use it to help create suspense or bring suspense into the equilibrium (normal situation). http://www.slideshare.net/longroadmedia/glossary-sound-and-music-in-film and http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Documents/short/gramtv.html These linked aided me slightly.
