Blog Post #13 Sound in film Part: One

 The use of sound in the film The Dark Knight, for the suspense that it creates and non-diegetic uses to convey the details of each scene without actually seeing what happens.



The use of sound to create suspense is evident throughout this film with the soundtrack being used to create a dark and ominous feeling throughout the film. This suspense helps keep the audience engaged throughout the film with little to no stoppage in the plot. Also when the ominous sound track starts it is an indicator that something bad is about to happen and it works very well as a starting and stopping points for the plot. This suspense is also created by the diegetic sounds that are created for this film, an example of this are the explosions that are used during the highway scene in the film. This scene was able to capture the audiences attention through the constant diegetic sounds that were displayed to make it seem as though the viewers were in the film experiencing it for themselves. While the realism in the film during these moments is not very good it is still able to hold the audiences attention through the action packed sequences that are able to hold onto the viewers attention and keep them invested in the plot. 



Also the sound can help convey the setting of the film with "Gotham City" being the main setting in the plot. This sound helps convey mainly the violence and crime in this city. With the constant use of sirens being used in order to convey that the police in this city are very hard at work. Another example is the gun shots being heard a lot, this conveys that the film is going to be integrated with a lot of action sequences because batman will have to fight this crime. It also conveys that there will most likely be a lot of drama in this film since the loud bangs of noise and constant sirens that convey that a bad aura is building in the film.

  Today I will be talking about social media and its affects on our perspectives. So, everyone that we know and mostly everyone in our world uses social media for everything from sports to politics. This use of social media can help us in many ways such as staying up to date on the current fashion trends, helping us stay entertained with fun videos, and even helping us with day-to-day situations through tutorials. That being said social media can also cause many people to unfortunately suffer at the end of social media. This includes spreading mis-information, cyber bullying, and even identity theft. So with that being said let's look at some ways that social media can hurt or help athletes across the globe. An example of social media helping athletes is Ja Morant, where his highlight plays throughout college helped him develop a name for himself as a highlight reel machine and this helped attract the attention of NBA scouts. He wasn't in a flashy college like Duke or Kan...

Blog Post #6 Sports in Film

Today I will be analyzing The Longest Yard, which is a Sports Films and how it is good at helping convey the other genres in that film through its different micro elements, specifically Mise-en-Scene. The Longest Yard The Longest Yard is a football movie that is centered around a star quarterback who got into trouble with the law, this getting him arrested. Then this brings up the location which is centered in a prison with the quarterback ("Paul Crewe", The main character) having to put together a football team to compete with the guards of that prison. This is because the prison wants to humiliate the prisoners and make it seem as though they are nothing compared to the guards of the prison, it will also re-assure the public about their prison security and their overall security system. But that doesn't go as planned because the "Coms" win and prove everyone wrong, becoming the crowd favorite and partially restoring their public image in the process. This conn...
