Post Production:Sound

Parallel sound-music that matches what you see in the film.

Contrapuntal sound-sound that opposes what you see in the film.

Sound bridge-when the music from one scene goes into the next.

Ambient sound-sound that you expect to hear in a location e.g traffic on a road.

Foley sound-everyday sounds that are added to a certain clip.


We watched a clip from the film Fast and Furious 2 and had to analyse the sound used in it:

How is the sound used to create tension?

In the clip from Fast and Furious 2 there is a use of parallel sound. The music is fast and upbeat when all of the cars are driving around. This shows how chaotic it is. In the beginning of the clip they use ambient sound with the police car sirens. The sirens are only heard when the police have some power, when they loose there power and control when all of the cars come out we don't hear the sirens anymore because the police have lost all control they had.
