Lesson 8 - Outcome 1

Here is what you have to do to achieve outcome 1:

Describe the way that sound and music are used to support different mediums.   You must produce written and/or oral evidence which shows that you can identify when sound and music are being used to:

♦ set the mood 

♦ establish environment

♦ support narrative

♦ establish character

♦ convey emotions 

♦ create or support transition

This assessment is open book. In your report you should discuss the

possible reasons for the choice of sounds and music used and refer to at least three of the criteria above. You should also comment on whether they think the sounds and music used are successful.

The following terms must be used correctly in the description:

♦ terms applied to set the mood, establish environment: empathetic sound, sound perspective and room tone

♦ terms applied to support narrative, establish character, convey emotions, create or support transition: synchresis, synchronous, asynchronous, sound motif, and foley

Write 500 words.
