Although we didn't play with the sounds in the movie, the Titanic, we discovered the way sound was used in a specific clip within the movie. The sounds of the ropes cutting off were actually gunshots and as the boat fell into the water we realized the sound of an elephant was used. These sounds intensified the scene. It was amusing to see how we can easily miss a recognizable sound like that of an elephant when it is placed in a scene like that. Overall, it was fascinating to learn how sound editors think and work in the studio when editing sounds for movies and TV shows.
Sound Effects at MOMI
Thursday, November 24, 2016
One of the demos my group participated in was in the Sound Effects exhibit. We used scenes from different movies and mixed them with different types of sounds to see what effect it would have on the audience. For example, using a scary Jurassic Park clip with silly Foley sound effects turned the Jurassic Park clip into a funny short movie. I found this exhibit to be the most interesting because I had an epiphany about how dinosaur sounds are actually Foley sounds that are created. I never thought about the fact that no human alive has ever heard a dinosaur roar. New changes and innovations in moving image technology have allowed for the creation of Foley sounds so the audience is allowed to imagine sounds that may not necessarily exist. Sound editors use their imagination to fill in the gaps of sound within media. During our demo, we were able to replace the sound of the well-known dinosaur roar with the sound of a cat meowing. It was interesting to see how ridiculous the movie became.
