Joker Scene

Self  Evaluation

Which Soundtrack are you most pleased with and why?

I ams most pleased with the Joker scene soundtrack because I feel as if the sounds used were more accurate to each different individual action taking place such as the button pressing or the explosions and even the people screaming run onto the bus

How have you used diegetic sound?

I did use diegetic sounds during the scenes where certain things were taking place like the explosions happening in the hospital and also when The Joker was constantly mashing the button for the explosion to happen outside the hospital. These were all diegetic sounds because the sounds were matching the scenes each time such as the explosion and they were all heard by the characters in the movie world so The Joker was able to see and hear every explosion that took place. I found these different sounds by searching for them on YouTube in every different appropriate scene. When the explosions happened I searched for explosions sounds on YouTube etc.

How have you used non diegetic sound?

Yes I used non diegetic sound with the sound effects of glass falling and building collapsing to create more of a danger effect. However I never did add 'mood music' which is basically music to create a particular mood or feeling for the audience mainly. I never added this at the time because I had thought the Joker scene will be obvious enough for the audience to realise what the scene is about when he is using the button to create the explosion.

What peer feedback did you get? (comment on it)

I had positive feedback on my soundtrack as my peers who viewed the scene described it as being ‘good’ but some slight improvements could be made such as using more background music to add to the scene more and make it seem a bit more real

What could you do to further improve your Soundtrack?

I could add a more wider range of sound effects and make them all suitable for the recurring scene also whilst doing it. I could add background music to have the scene feel more action packed and/or dangerous to follow through with the way the scene is going and make sure it suits the scene to make the viewers more hyped up whilst watching it.
