Soundtrack - Worksheet 1

There are many different ways of listening to a soundtrack. Listening on a phone is extremely different to a 5.1 surround sound system. Listening on a phone is a much lower quality, this means you won't hear some subtle sounds as clearly as you would on a surround sound. Earphones are generally a low quality of sound. Earphones are used to hear the sound but as a much lower quality, things such as dialogue will be fine. Its action scenes that require a high quality sound for all the little sound effects and sounds that have been edited. 5.1 Surround Sound is a system that has 6 speakers. They will be placed around the room (behind, in front, left, right, and diagonals) to make it sound like you're in the film. 5.1 is used in theatres and cinemas.

I watched the opening scene of Saving Private Ryan.

Most of the sound in this scene is non-digetic. I think the only sounds recorded on the day may have been the dialogue, everything else would have been added
