SOUND IN 'CONFESSIONS OF A TEENAGE DRAMA QUEEN': Jhean Capitan

Teen Drama - Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen

The sound in the opening sequencee of 'Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen' involves upbeat music and use of non-diegetic and ambient sounds.

The sequence starts with an upbeat song 'I'm Ready' by Cherie. The song presents the film as more comical and light-hearted thus setting the tone of the film. The beat of the song coincides with the 'pulsing' action the the words 'Disney' and 'Teenage'.

   Whilst the music is playing, non-diegetic 'zooming' sounds are added; this acts as a sound bridge as the sound carries over a visual transition and you could say that this sound is also synchronous as the sound matched the action as the words -zoom- away from the screen.
   As the audience flies over New York, we hear slight sounds of wind and birds that adds to the ambient sounds of the film.
   The sounds all set the tone of the film as the 'zooming' sounds create a playful tone and the soundtrack creates an upbeat atmosphere.
