The argument: The three versions

The next few lessons we spent doing camera work, this blog is going to explain the 3 different clips and the positives and negatives of  all there clips.
We did this task to test out Non-diegetic sound including Parallel and Contrapuntal sound and film techniques when filming a cover station in master shot and cutaway shots.

Parallel sound:This is sound that does match the scene that is going on in the clip.

contrapuntal sound:This is sound that doesn't match the scene going on in the clip.

If I had to change anything I would definitely re-group and maybe script what we were to say during the filming because we had no dialogue to improve the scene as you can see it is 51 seconds long and I believe with a better dialogue we could have expanded the scene,also the people being filmed were nervous and I would try to make them feel more at ease so it was serious and I would make sure the camera was in line with the peoples faces as the angle made the shot unattractive.Also thinking positively it was our second time trying out camera skills and our first time adding dialogue and I think we did well for inexperienced people.
But it was a great experience and we did have a larger group to work with.

   

This is the the 1st clip and we believe this is parallel music  because the "couple" are having an argument and the music being played is rap battle music we believed this was a good soundtrack because it suits the scene well and it builds up the tense conversation although we were unscripted so the dialogue was made up we tried making  it serious.during the clip there is a part were the screen goes blank and someone is laughing we did this as an effect to transfer the idea that we were a joke to others and that people were laughing at the couples relationship.



This is the the 2nd clip and we believe this is parallel music  because the "couple" are having an argument and the music being played is a  dub-step mix we believed this was a good soundtrack because it suits the scene well and it builds up the tense conversation although we were unscripted so the dialogue was made up we tried making  it serious and although there is dialogue you can hear the musics dialogue also suits the scene one participant wants to sort out the relationship while the music reflects the others anger  the music on its own can remind a view of a machine malfunctioning and that can be expressed though the "couples" argument too that in some way  the relationship is not working and that one of the characters are really not happy as if her anger is being built  .during the clip there is a part were the screen goes blank and someone is laughing we did this as an effect to transfer the idea that we were a joke to others and that people were laughing at the couples relationship.


This is the 3rd clip during this clip I lowered the sound of the dialogue leaving the music on its own I did this to add the effect that the conversation didn't matter for the people any more and that the tension in body language can show there anger and our dialogue wasn't very good.We believe this music was contrapuntal to the scene being played because the sound track was a soft mellow sound where as the start of the conversation and the body language and gestures clearly show that this isn't a happy conversation although the music sound like music that would belong to a love scene or a reconciliation.
