@ ka ka kandy

Yeah, this is for Film Studies and I need the class for my English major. XD;;

[ka ka kandy]

That's awesome!
Do you get to actually make a film?

[syntic]

@ ka ka kandy

Haha, I wish. XDDD That'd be a lot of fun though. <3 Nah, we only study the history of film and how its come to being in the cinema we know today. : 3

[ka ka kandy]

Aw, lame sauce.
How can you TRULY appreciate something until you've had to do it, you know?
I love schools, thinking they know everything!

*huff*

-Semi-diegetic sound (internal diegetic sound): sound that is neither strictly diegetic or nondiegetic, such as certain voice-overs that can be constructed as the thoughts of a character and thus arising from the story world.

@ ka ka kandy

True, true. However, it's difficult to do something without the prior knowledge you would need beforehand. The information can be tedious and we get to watch movies for labs (writing notes while watching), but it's just the discussions in class that I enjoy the most. It makes taking a Film Studies class bearable. XD;; Besides, it seems a lot of kids are in the class as a prerequisite for going into acting and drama.

-Functions of movie music:
~Setting the scene
~Adding emotional meaning
~Serving as background filler
~Creating continuity
~Emphasizing climaxes

[ka ka kandy]

That's true.
I took photography, and we learned about all the stuff, then by midterms, we were sent out to do photos and print and stuff.

xD Really? You are the only English major?

[syntic]

@ ka ka kandy

Ahhh, that makes sense. But that sounds like so much fun! : DDD Did you have to write exams or did you just do projects?

Well, I'm in BofEd (Bachelor of Eduction), and I want to teach English. I also minor in Biology. : 3

-Setting the score:
~creates atmosphere of time and place
~characterizes the locations, setting, and cultures of where the story is set

[syntic]

-Adding emotional meaning: music can hint at the unseen (images can only show what is visible)
~music extends an image's range of meaning by adding psychological or emotional qualities not in the picture

[syntic]

-Serving as background filler:
~typically occurs in older films
~1930s and 1940s films often had wall-to-wall (behind every scene) music
~assumed a kind of background filler
~contemporary films use music more sparingly

[ka ka kandy]

That's true.
We had projects. And tests. That was about it. =3 Thankfully.

Oooh, wow. I could never teach. >_>; People annoy me.
And so does paper work.

So my hat is off to you!

[syntic]

-Creating continuity:
~music can bridge shots (link and unify them)
~use of leitmotif to create continuity.
--> Leitmotif: a kind of musical label that is assigned to a character, a place, an idea, or an emotion (i.e.: the "ding" sound of an idea popping up)

[syntic]

@ ka ka kandy

Haha, yeah, you got off easy. XD Lucky~.

Yeah, teaching little kids would annoy me, but I want to teach high school students. They're more mature and they can think at about the same intellectual level as me. XD;; I just want to make their high school year a blast before they head off to do whatever in life.

Bawwww, thanks! XDDDDDDD
