storyboard, internal structure, pace and edits

Storyboard

A storyboard is a basic plan and describes something scene by scene  many producers or directors will create these so they will have a basic plan and understand on what they will create they will then talk with there team/teams and discuss how they see there vision  on how the music should be or even how the story should go and it also allows people to create ideas onto the story board.

an example would be this as a storyboard.

the contribution to success would be that every post producer has done this and properly changed there ideas as they changed there mind on creating a effect and changing it and making it better also it is a success because you can make people also see your vision in a particular vision a lot more clearer.

Internal structure

internal stucture is what actually happens in the film such as an example would be a beginning middle and the end such as in the film "Frozen" the beginning would be when both sisters are playing and one sister accidentally hurts the other one the middle would be the sisters separate and the end would be when the sisters are back together.

the contribution to success is that every film needs one otherwise it is either boring or it is ever lasting this is why a lot of films are bringing film after film out because a lot more people are enjoying them such as the film hunger games now are making part one's and two's because there internal structure is to carry on and building up so there story board is begging and a really long middle and in the last ever one will be a middle and an end almost like a big cliff hanger.

Pace

pace means the speed of something meaning the to determine how fast or slow something is going.

an example would be in jaws when the pace of the sound of the the 2 notes are very slow you relies the shark is lurking and you can tell with the pace of the 2 notes speed up you know the shark is coming and because the pace pickup you know the shark is coming because you can relate with the shark as its coming.

the contribution on success of pace is mostly because it can relate to an audience as when something picks up tempo and pace you know that its a build up of something and that something is going to have a big effect on a situation.

Edit 

Editing is when you are changing or making something better within a program or changing something such as making somebody look younger on a computer making your existing footage making it better within the sequence. an example would be a piece of audio normal audio such as a build up then you take that put it through a program like audacity then residing the piece of audio then putting some reverb on the piece of music making it a build down so that is an example of editing a piece of audio.

the contribution to success would be that the audience can relate to it and also have a better understanding of something such as in the new film captain america for the audience to understand that the actor Chris Evans who played captain america there is a scene where they edited it so they made him look like he was really small and had no muscle to make the audience believe that the transformation he went through made it more realistic even though it isn't a realistic film that a man can survive with just a shield.

animations,live footage,stills, logo and titles

animations

Animations are created a cartoons or "CGI" computer generated images. sometimes these created animations can interact with movies and even programs such saw an example would be scooby do which is a week in week out cartoon program but then you can also get award winning films such as walle which took them 18 months to make the film because the sound effects in the film had to be spot on and very effective but because it was award winning it shows that it is a contribution of success in the project walle.

Also with animation the sound effects are a lot more colourful  because the sounds can also be a lot more creative and almost in a way unrealistic such as the sound of teeth breaking it is a lot more different than when in animation the sound is shattered glass but sounds completely different in how in an unanimated film does it.

The contribution to success would be that it can relate with kids more often and get them more involved with the film it also makes the film different and more people get excited and can relate more to them because its colourful.


live footage

Live footage is when something is being recorded on air such as an example would be when a football rugby or any sporting event is being broadcasted. also the news is live to find out whats live it normally will say live on the side or will let you know on the actual device you watch it from wether that is your phone laptop or in most cases your tv.

the contribution to success would be that more people would rather find out watching something straight away than finding out another way such as example would be more people would rather watch a football game than watch match of the day which is a couple of hours later on but in that time you could of found out the score by something or somebody later.

Stills

Stills are really just a photo or something that won't move such as an example would be a photo explaining an emotion in a film so an example would be this

This shows a couple words was said between Steven Gerrard "(left) and Robin Van Persie (right).

The contribution to success would be that maybe people who cant hear very well can't guess between this photo that somebody has said something to make the other person not happy which evolves into making a better understanding between people who are trying to understand what has happened hear.

Logos and titles

Logos basically tell us what is in a film or what we can expect such as when everybody sees this logo normal people understand it is going to be a good film when you see this logo.

And a title is telling us what it actually is this is the example of the film star wars.

The contribution to success would be that when you see the logo you have more than a like as when you see the pixar lamp you believe its going to be an animated film such as toy story and that more or likely children will be able to relate to the film and also if they see a a friendly tittle like lilo and stitch people will think it sounds like a friendly and nice film but you can also judge of the films title on what genre of film it is such as the film "paranormal activity" which to me screams horror or scary film or for homebody doesn't like ghost would not like this.

audio componentes

sound effects

sound effects are used in almost every film production it is used because you can't fire guns in empty spaces or get the sound of a plane going down how would you even record that you could use a microphone to record these things as its more cost effective not to. so sound effects are sometimes even improvised such as the sound of an spaceship and because a spaceship has a different  sound from anything as its not reel but others argue they are but nobody knows the sound of a spaceship but because its mystical and different they came up with the sound what was like a short laser sound like.

an example would be instead of beating people up in a fight scene they use people punching lettuce and various other objects to make it sound like somebody getting beaten up in a fight scene or even an other example would be in cartoons when somebody's teeth gets knocked out normally it is the sound of glass shattering this is called foley recording for something but getting the sound by using your imagination.

an example of sound effects been successfully would be the new film movie pixar called WALLE this was successful because they based the film on basically sound effects and there is little voice tracks.


going back to walle hear is a video explaining the reason why walle was so successful and if the film was produced earlier it wouldn't of been as successful as it was.

walle was very effective as you hardly get any human voices in it and the main character in walle is a robot and communicates by using sci-fi noises which shows this was a success of a project as you still understood the emotions of walle without him speaking any language but only using sound effects.

foley is a behind the scene noise what covers in films an example would be when somebody has a fight scene and uses the sound of a punch as punching some one punching vegetables and breaking bones as snapping frozen celery.

this is important as you won't need to actually break some actors bones and also it is important because it is effective and makes very good noise and can be good examples.

temp tracks are used before an actual track to sometimes even set the mood for the scene but also get an idea and a feel for what should be said and also it gives a chance for the actors to get there mind set on how things should be said and so on.

an example would be the pirates and the Caribbean video as they tried a lot of temp tracks to see which one suited the film best because it "needs to match the story/narrative "
its contribution to success would be if they didn't uses different temp tracks they wouldn't get a feel of the narrative of the film hear is an example.

Voice tracks is more of "ADR" automatic dialogue replacement which is when actors are doing the voices for the films a good example would be an animated films as they are animated characters but are still using the voices of famous actors such as films like Madagascar.

Actors like Chris rock and Ben stiller doing the voices of the lion and the zebra in the film Madagascar a good piece of advice in this is when you are recording they need to get all dramatic in front of a microphone not only just on stage but they also watch the characters without the voices and see how they act to see how they would suit the characters.

not only in animated films they are used but they are also used in action scenes or in other scenes such as real life factors and in some cases in real life situations. hear is a good example of describing voice tracks and ADR.

atmospheres

Atmospheres


is music and live sound or even filming to create atmosphere is liking giving the story of the song or a build up to create tension is a particular scene or piece of music.

an example would be when in jaws the song builds up and the two notes get faster and faster as this represents the shark and how close it is getting to its enemy.

arguably some people would say that you would need to have this particular attribute in a film and that they key thing about creating an atmosphere would be the music but some others would argue that it is not what is needed and an example of that would be in the film paranormal activity as there is no sounds in the music in a scene and it is very scary as it looks like its being filmed live from a cctv camera but stills gives people that scary atmosphere.

but on another way of looking at it there is a film called mama and there is a little girl singing a song which creates a scary atmosphere and although it doesn't build up the song you known there is something bad going to happen when the little girl starts singing the song.

music

music 

music is important as it creates tension and also action and also it relates to the audience who are watching the film or even listening to an orchestra.

an example would be in the movie jaws you known with the two notes what are a semi tone apart and this has been a fantastic success winning lots and lots awards as its only 2 notes but it creates an atmosphere and tension as it builds/speeds up.

it is important within this film arguably the track is more important than the film as if you was going to describe the film to anybody all you need to do is play the 2 notes and people will get it straight away. arguably the song/tracks in films makes the film/track.

i think this example of jaws is a lot better than the film piranha as it could play a certain note and people would get it but if you played just them from jaws people would get it straight away and the build up meets the criteria of the film others argue that image without sound builds better tension but my conclusion to this is that it depends on the film and what genre the film is.

other examples with Darth Vader in star wars and also Indiana jones with the trumpets. these are something called 'themes' or 'motifs' which means that each character has there own bit of music.
