Research Part 6 : Sound Codes

 In this blog, which is part 6... we talk about sound codes. This part two of my teammates were responsible for, Skye and Richard. Sound codes help support the genre for a film. The sound in the opening of the film has dialogue that lets the audience knows what's going on. Words like boyfriend and helps the audience understand that they're in terms of a relationship. And that there's an emotional connection between the two. Elle and Lee. In the graph below it shows a form of information that helped me and my team better understand sound codes/techniques. 

Sound Techniques and definitions	Document sound	Meaning established by sounds to support the genre.
Dialogue	List 2 lines that connect audiences to the genre of the film and connotations of the film’s opening.  How does the dialogue define the main character? Their personality and their world.  “You have zero experience with guys. You’ve never even had a boyfriend”  “Nobody can know, at least until I tell Lee”  “In life you can either follow the rules or follow your heart”	The dialogue in the film indicates romantic connotations with terms like “boyfriend” and “follow your heart”. Theres also drama connotations with the second quote mentioning secrecy. The dialogue defines the main characters personality as well as arcs she has in the movie. From desparate for love to finding herself.
Sound effects	Phone notification chime   Pants ripping	Elle gets phone notification and hides it from her best friend. This connects audiences to the genre because the message is teen relationship drama. The sound of Elle’s pants ripping connects the audience to the genre because it shows the behind the scenes of a teenage girl.
Music	List the music used in the film opening that supports the tone.  Robbie Nevil – Crash Into Me  Walkthemoon – Shut up and Dance	The music supports the tone   by bringing a vibrant tone as well as modern pop giving off joyous and happy connotations.
