3. Instrumentation: The use of instruments &
vocals in a piece, the instruments used.
Tempo: The speed at which a piece of music
is played.
Dynamics: The volume of which a piece of
music is played.
Rhythm: A pattern of sound often used to
accompany a main melody as a beat.
Melody: The main body of a piece of music,
the leading instrument's piece.
4. Texture: The quality of a sound, how 'clear' a
piece can sound, how music is put together,
layers. One instrument playing is
'monophonic', lots of instruments together
would be 'polyphonic'.
Harmony/Key: The combination of sounds
put together to sound well structured, often
used in duets.
Structure: The music organised in layers, the
intro, verses and choruses, and finally the
outro. Solos are often in pieces of music too.
Technology/SFX: Real or artificial sounds that
are added to a piece of music or sound in
order to create atmosphere/mood or to
support the event occurring.
5. Sound Effects (SFX) – Sound effects can be
sourced from places like libraries, or they
can be recorded by hand. E.g recording
traffic.
Voice Over – Voice-over is a production
technique where a voice that is not part of
the narrative (non-diegetic) is used in a
radio, television production, filmmaking,
theatre, or other presentations. The voice-
over may be spoken by someone who appears
elsewhere in the production.
6. Dialogue – Dialogue can be recorded during
production, or can even be produced in post
production by dubbing.
Dubbing – Dubbing is when the voice that is
required in the production is recorded after
it has been filmed.
Underscore – Non-diagetic sound that is used
in post production to enhance the narrative
or story of the sequence.
Non Diagetic – Not part of the action, it put
in during post production.
Diagetic – The sound that can be heard on
screen.
10. The Pink Panther:
Once I collected all my
sound effects I needed
to import them in to
Cubase, then adjust
them to the correct
part of the sequence.
11. Then had to zoom in to the sequence so that I
could place my audio exactly where I wanted
it. Using a timescale is very helpful, it will
help as you go frame by frame to do your
adjusting.
12. Next I needed to adjust the size of some of the
audio I had collected. I still wanted the clip
but I wanted to cut out a part from the
middle.
13. Finally I wanted to adjust the length of a piece
of audio, I needed it to last slightly longer. I
also wanted to add effects to some of the
sections. For example, reverb, echo/delay
etc.
