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.

Use of Sound in X-Men: The Last Stand : Kim Phuong Hoang

In film opening of X-Men: The Last Stand, the music is synchronus and complements the action on screen to give a sense of the story behind the mutations of what led to these surperheros or mutants.


MUSIC:
The orchestrial music used is one of many scores produced speciafically produced for this film; called Dark Phoenix Tragedy.
The beginning of this film opening shows a boy crying and then the camera zooms straight into his back of the sharp bones and the feathers, with the soundtrack playing straight and loud into this scene.

I think that was also sound effects during the scene where the molecules were moving which gives makes it seem realistic, along with the smooth sounds when it transitions to the next scene.

The elements of the diffeerent strings in this piece emphasises the film opening, which is conventional and generic of a surperhero film because it sounds heroic and triumphant.
