Sounds in TV Drama

In lesson we watch a few TV clips and analysed what effect sound had on each one of them.

1. Spooks: In the beginning of clip there is like a mysteries sound to show discovery and questioning of people. As the clip goes on the music changes to make a sound as if the characters are taking all the information that they have just been told, in order to actually understand what is going on. The music changes to show a change of scene and different characters talking. When the character slams down his hand on the table and immediately the camera goes straight to his face this shows power and also the music then starts and it is kind of like a discovery and kind of makes it sound evil and frightening, in order to make the other character feel small and stupid and found out.
2. Bleak House: Towards the end of the clip there is sad music to show a sad scene when it is announced that someone has died. As the music is added it shows the characters to be quite sad and lonely, because although they have each other they might kind of feel like in there own little world and really alone. Then when the music gets a it more louder after the man asks the woman to get married the music gets more happier and you also get the sense of relief that the man has finally told the woman what he has wanted to say for a long time.
3. Eastenders Clip:  In this clip of Eastenders there was not that much of ambient sounds, but more realism sounds of like tea being drinked, phone being played with. Also there was a lot of dialogue which actually made the scene because without the dialogue you wouldn't really understand what is happening in the scene so it gives us information and you also kind of feel involve in the scene because it is more realistic.
4. Spooks MIF: In this clip of spooks the music was kind of music that showed discuss and like they really couldn't believe what the man was actually doing. Aso there was a flashback of something that happen to the man and with this there was like a sad and upset music which reflected how the man felt at that present moment of time.
5. Desperate HouseWives: In this clip at the beginning sad music was played to make us feel really sorry for the woman but then when the other kind of evil character was shown the music changed from sad to like evil to show that we dont feel sorr for this character becasue she has come back from the pass to annoy and cause trouble for everyone around her.
