Five Master Edits with Sound



Symbolism (Sound-bridge): The Pink Panther Theme Song was added to show the connection between the two instruments. As we zoom into the flute, the music seems to move forward with the camera. The song continues playing through as the camera zooms out of the trombone to further establish the symbolism between the two instruments.

Contrast (Postsynchronization Dubbing): Two different forms of post-synchronization dubbing were used to enhance contrast, sounds that were not originally present during filming. In the first clip we added bird chirps in the background to make it seem as if Woody were studying in a peaceful environment. For the second clip, music (non-diegetic) was played while Alyssa’s nephew danced along to the music. The birds helped bring about a serene environment while the music aided the contrast seen in the one-man party.

Parallelism (Voice-over): In the first clip, you can hear Alyssa’s voice over, where she asks if anyone hears anything. While you can’t see the upper half of her body, Alyssa is speaking at the same time that she is walking to her destination. In the second half of the clip, Woody’s voice-over (the snake) is heard in which he hisses and proceeds to say “Imma kill you,” exposing the snake's intentions. Since we can hear the snake's thoughts, but the characters filmed cannot, the second voice-over is an example of non-diegetic sound.

Leit Motif (Offscreen Sound): At the same time that Eva is calling people to attention (essentially, a command for all to be quiet and freeze), you hear those people who are offscreen talking. Those voices were incorporated through post-synchronization dubbing and were not present after Eva called her students to attention.

Simultaneity (Direct Sound): All original sounds were left in both simultaneity clips, no changes were made. The quiet of the airplane with only the wind heard were enough to get across those feelings usually felt when leaving one place to go back to another. In this case, the person on the plane was leaving Mexico, while at the same time people were partying and enjoying the night on the ground.
