Today we watched a Feature Length Film - Russian Ark and reviewed some techniques from last lesson.

Sound
- to make emotion etc
- how clear it is, volume, effect,impact, conscious?sub-conscious?
- diagetic sound and non-diagetic sound
- diagetic = to hear what you see
- non-diagetic = to hear but not see
- same timing as what is seen unless for other purposes

Sahara intro
- you see the island at first then your sight is concentrated on the lights that show up one at a time
- afterwards we are scanning over someones wall full of photos of their life
- the map that then fades into the setting of where the movie begins. the name of
with bad dream
- it seems to fit better but the lighting of the movie still affects the feeling you get. i think if the lighting was darker then it will fit better with the movie.

From the original movie,(song:right place wrong time)you concentrate on all the army forces and life with friend. It slightly gives off the sense that it would be an action movie and after changing the song it gives off the feeling that one of the two had died and it feels sad. It now gives a sense that it is more of a movie that is of someones memories(reflection). When the original song was played it gave the feeling that the intro was really long and you get impatient but with the second song you don't feel as though its dragging so long as the original because it's as though its meant to be slow but with a faster song and slow panning, it makes you want to hurry it up or skip it.
