01 10D CUFFS: SOUND

Today we look at the types of questions that you will answer in the exam 01 TELEVISION. All the material that we cover in class today is on the page above marked 01 TELEVISION.

PREP: Answer on your blog the first exam question, as set out below, using Cuffs that we watched in class. Here is a link to the BBC preview extract. and here is another link, which we will use until we can upload to ClickView.

The types of sound that you may identify could include diegetic sound such as dialogue or sound effects, for  instance, police radio, sirens and vehicles (diegetic = sound from the world of the film).
It could include non-diegetic sound such as music or a voiceover (non-diegetic = sound added in during editing that you wouldn't hear if you were in the world of the film, like a soundtrack). Different types of music and sound create different effects, such as fast-paced music, slow / sad music, tense music.

The exam is 1 hour 45 minutes long. Section A is on television (for information about Section B, see 01 Promoting Media).
In the exam, there will be an extract played. Here are sample questions from the exam paper:
