Write down three walla clips you listened to and what your thoughts
were on the sound clips. EXAMPLE ANSWER: I listened to the baseball

SILENCE Silence is the absence of sound. It can create
incredibly dramatic effects in movies and live theatrical
experiences. It can create tension and raise the dramatic stakes.
In truth, SILENCE can be VERY LOUD.

MUSIC Music can be used to set the mood of a scene, over score
scene changes, or create a theme for a specific character. Music
has an incredible psychological influence on the human brain. Music
does a lot to set the tone of a scene.

SOUND EFFECTS Specific sounds called for within a script: - can
be a single effect (gunshot) - can be a longer effect (crickets) -
can be a layered effect (multiple effects at once) Sound effects
are usually called for in a specific point in the script and dont
last over a whole scene. Furthermore, they can be pre- recorded and
played over the sound system or even made on stage at the right
time.

each button to watch a very funny (but bad) version of live sound
effects And then a great version of live sound effects

KEY COMPONENTS TO SOUND For example: If you were setting a
scene in a restaurant what kind of sound effects and music would
you want to hear to immerse the audience in the place?
Slide 14
ITALIAN RESTAURANT Some Italian Music -- Cheesy Italian for a
lower end or budget restaurant --Classical for a fancier restaurant
Dishes and Glasses -- Clinking dishes and glasses give us the sound
of others eating Crowd Noise Unless the people eating are eating
alone in the restaurant there are going to be other people there,
so this gives the illusion of more people
