Short Film Research

We looked at three short films in a lesson to gain some knowledge on music and sound effects in a film clip. Firstly 'The Black Hole', 'The Otherside of the Lens' and 'Occupied'. I chose to look at 'The Black Hole' in more detail even though it wouldn't have a very interesting music time graph. However, it can help us to understand how it works. It tells the story of "a sleep-deprived office worker who accidentally discovers a black hole - and then greed gets the better of him..."
The main sound effect through out it is of a photocopier, when the noise is being used the graph would have a small raise in the it. This is continuous throughout the film so the graph would have little bumps for the beep all the way through. Another noise we hear often through this short film is the noise when the 'black hole' is being used, the zorbing. This is then set in our minds when the hole is used, so we may not even have to see the hole being used but hear the sound and we will know what is happening. Toward the end move and more is happening so the noise level is raised, so our graph will start to look as if it is climaxing. And this is where it finishes, at the peek of the climax, the loudest point of this film is the point of which it ends.
